Members deputydog530 Posted March 26, 2008 Members Share Posted March 26, 2008 Law and Grace He stands in the night, a hardend face He enforces the Law, for that is his place Appointed by the Lord, called to a duty devine By the Grace of God his strength refined The call comes in, away he goes To help anyone in need, helping others, he starts to glow Over an injured child he kneals, his words so kind Trying to ease the fear, for now she is blind Why O why Lord, she's only nine Pain and hurt fills the night, more calls waiting for him to go He prays in his car, may the rest of the calls be no more Home late at night, leave the job at the door Carrying the scars of what he saw an hour before Family asleep, darkness fills the house He drops his gun belt, and hangs up his uniform blouse He moves to the floor with reverence in the black The tears start to flow as the memories flood back Bible in hand he opens so slow Light from the hall gives a soft glow He reads and prays through tears of pain Yet finds joy and comfort that he can not explain Why do terrible things happen that send tears down his face The answer comes clear, from God so sweet and so clear It is finished on the cross, you have my Grace Peace I leave with you, the Holy Spirit in his heart He drifts off to sleep, the Lord will not depart In the Morning awake ready to go knowing the grace of God will help him so. Thank you Lord for another day To serve you in this special way. A partner the Lord is, never leaving his side If he has to have a partner, the Lord is always welcome to ride Enforceing the law that is his place Enforceing the law under God's wonderful Grace I used to write some poems when I was a Deputy. Thought I would share one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Psalms18_28 Posted April 12, 2008 Members Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks for sharing i like it. speaking of law, I think you might like what my pastor once said: The laws can not save you. Then I think he went something like the police(or was it judge???) can. I was speeding briefly one day on a steep downhill.. I did slow down before I even acknowledge there was police. He pulled me over and I told him I was sorry. He decided to give me a warning. By law, I'm suppose to get a ticket, but that policeman let me have a fresh start. I still remember his kindness and forgiveness. Sadly, not alot of people cared but themselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
