.....Author Unknown
When I start my tour of duty God
wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be
close to Thee.
Please give me understanding
with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgment
in a rash or callous way,
but let me hold my patience,
let each
man have his say.
Lord, if some dark and dreary night,
I must give up my life.
Lord, with your understanding love,
protect my children and wife.
