Do No Harm

 As shepherds we must strive to never wound the precious lambs of God. If we find it necessary to wound a dear child of God, we must not neglect, nay, we must rush to bind up those wounds. We must never leave a wounded, bleeding, or injured precious one until the lamb we found necessary to wound has been treated and on its way to mending. Wounds are at time necessary for the good of the these precious ones and for the glory of God.

No Escape

 

Rule Number One

Gregg Metcalf

Chorus:

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one

It’s the most important one you said

You might break a few before your done

But last night you broke rule number one

Rule number one, come home to mom and me

It’s a rule that should never have to be

But in the blink of an eye your shift was done

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one

I knew you came in my room last night

You kissed my cheek and turned off the light

It was time for work like every night before

I whispered I love you as you closed my door

Daddy, you know that I’m so proud of you

And I know how much you love what you do

You look so brave and strong in your uniform

Protect and serve was why you were born

You told me about the rules you go by

To keep you safe so nobody has to die

But my favorite rule was for your son

Come home to me was rule number one

This morning your best friend stopped by

Momma opened the door and began to cry

With his head bowed low he said to her

A robbery went bad in a great big blur

Chorus:

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one

It’s the most important one you said

You might break a few before your done

But last night you broke rule number one

Rule number one, come home to mom and me

It’s a rule that should never have to be

But in the blink of an eye your shift was done

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one

Recitation:

Now you’ll never come home to mom and me

You did a job nobody wants to do or see

I’ll always be proud of everything you’ve done

Even though you broke rule number one

Chorus:

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one

It’s the most important one you said

You might break a few before your done

But last night you broke rule number one

Rule number one, come home to mom and me

It’s a rule that should never have to be

But in the blink of an eye your shift was done

Daddy, last night you broke rule number one
