This page is dedicated to fallen heroes everywhere I found this fireman's poem when I was looking up stories reguarding the Worcester Mass. fire for my brother.
I know the work firefighters do and the dangers they face everytime the whistle blows. I thought it would be appropriate to include this for eveyone to see. Firefighters never know what danger awaits them. The photo on the right was taken the night of the warehouse fire by the Worcester Telegram. (note the likeness of a firefighter in the flame). If you get the chance please visit the web link below that takes you to the Worcester sites and to hear the complete song please click on the prayer song link. |

FIREMAN'S PRAYER FIREMAN'S PRAYER
performed by Plainfolk (Copyright 1996 by Charlie Ball ) The inspiration for this song came from a Fitchburg, MA Firefighter who died in the line of duty. It is dedicated to Firefighters everywhere who put themselves in harms way everyday without hesitation. Chorus: Lay me down beside cool water And lay to rest my body sore Send the word out to my brothers The fire is down, let it burn no more 1) Let me be ready Lord when the call comes in When the sirens wail and the engines strain When the smoke is thick and the air is thin When innocent lives, in the balance hang 2) I've trained hard Lord and I've learned well That I'm just one part of a human chain Though it's been forged in the fires of hell Still I've known fear Lord, and I've prayed for rain 3) If my brother goes down Lord, let me be near Won't you let me have what the flames demand Won't you give him voice, O Lord, and let me hear And give me the reach Lord, for his outstretched hand 4) Let me be ready Lord if it comes my turn Won't you let me be strong, let me not complain Won't you let me go in and with a child return Take me young Lord, but not in vain |
