Thank you Lord for those whose Hearts
Are generous and Brave
So generous, they risk their Lives
That others may be Saved
Thank you Lord for those who Choose
To serve those in Distress
Please grant them Strength, exactly When,
They think there’s nothing Left
Thank you Lord for those who Know,
That life is short and Dear
May you always help them Be,
The Masters of their Fear
Thank you Lord for those who Risk,
To feel another’s Pain
Help them, as they daily Face,
What most would deem Insane
Thank you Lord for those who Ask,
To live a “Bigger Life”
Embracing all the lessons learned,
In Struggle and in Strife
May they always have the Will,
To choose the “Higher Road”
Grant strength to those who choose to Share,
Their Journey and their Load
And may the rest of us be Grateful,
That our world is made much Brighter,
Illuminated by the Souls
Of Our Firefighters
