A video I put together using my dads song “The firefighter’s prayer”.
He wrote it in August, 1998. Inspired by and dedicated to the Potchefstroom Fire Brigade in the north west province of South Africa, and, of course, to firemen everywhere.

The firefighter’s prayer
——————————
As we stand before the flames, that ravage and destroy
Be our strength, so we can do the best we can
Let us help, protect and serve, as this is what we chose to do
No challenge is too great, if we’re with you
—-
Hear our prayer, oh Lord, and show us, what to do
Let us feel you near, in each and every way
Let us feel you there beside us, to protect us, and to guide us
To help us make it through another day
—-
When the fires are all put out, and the smoke has disappeared
We’ll give thanks for another battle, fought and won
And if it be your will, that I lay down my life
Please hold your hand over my family and my wife
—-
There’s not a fire in this world, can match the fire in our heart
There’s not a life that stands in danger, where we will not play our part
There’s not a price we won’t pay, to see our duty through
And we leave the rest, oh Lord, up to you
—-
Hear our prayer, oh Lord, and show us, what to do
Let us feel you near, in each and every way
Let us feel you there beside us, to protect us, and to guide us
To help us make it through another day
