Alone I patrol these dark lonely streets
Where the smell of evil lurks in the sultry midnight heat

Within the realm of my post and the crimes that unfold
Forever give me strength, Lord, to continue to serve and uphold

May I never need to unleash lethal force upon anyone who crosses my path
Help me to use the power of reason rather than using the blunt of my wrath

And what a burden it is this weapon of steel and lead
Able to save a life in an instant and make another so very dead

Let me save the little child from the hurt and endless pain
Let me help the battered spouse through the fear and lonely shame

Give me compassion for the homeless, the ones whom You surely console
Give me persistence to endure in this life through my work and its subsequent toll

Give me patience for the drunk who I take off the road
Give me contempt for the lie and the one who stands there so bold

Give me the power to stop the thief who takes what he doesn’t own
Give me the vision to build a new world when it seems that I'm here all alone

Make me the best that I can be when times are at ultimate worse
Let me find that such needed peace when life feels so very much cursed

Show me the way when I find myself lost
Show me the truth no matter what be the cost

Secure my integrity, keep me pure from corrupt
Make me safe as I protect, so I may watch my own kids grow up…
