EMS Prayer
 
As I perform my duty Lord
Whatever be the call,
Help to guide and keep me safe
From danger big and small.
I want to serve and do my best
No matter what the scene,
I pledge to keep my skills refined,
My judgment quick and keen.
This calling to give of myself
Most do not understand
But I stand ready all the time
To help my fellow man.
To have a chance to help a child
Restore his laugh with glee,
A word of thanks I may not hear
But knowing is enough for me.
The praise of men is fine for some
But I feel truly blessed,
That you, oh Lord have chosen me to serve in EMS.
