A DISPATCHERS PRAYER

 

 

A Dispatchers Prayer

by Richie Minton

Lord, send me an angel tonight

As calls come in, lend your might

Let me be fast and true

To make safe those in brown and blue

 

Only you know what tonight will yield

Let me protect those who carry a badge or shield

With every call I put out, they give their lives

To those who may carry guns and knives

 

Bring them home to me, their brother and friend

To their hearts I can talk, but never mend

My hands can touch theirs in need

But my words come though, to safety they lead

 

I hear them scream, but I can never reach

Lord, help me, for your grace I beseech

For I am the one who helps the heroes

I keep their clock from reaching zeros

 

Lord, please send me an angel

And work with me tonight

Keep my boys safe

From the darkness they patrol

 

For to them, I am their angel

I am their greatest weapon in the fight

Lord, send me an angel

And heed my prayers with your might
