A Firefighter's Prayer

When I answer a call,
I never know what my fate may be
So, as I run out the door,
I ask God to watch over me
No matter what I may face
and the danger that awaits
I Just say a little prayer
'cause in His hands lie my fate
By doing this, I feel a little bit safer
If you need a reason, this is what I pray for :

I pray for my fellow firefighters and me
I pray for our families
I pray for my mom and my dad
And what a wonderful life I have
I pray for a safe return
And that no one gets burned
I pray that no matter what ill fate
Our lives to take, God will wait
But, if He doesn't, we shall understand
Why God had to take such a brave man

A couple of seconds is all it takes...
