Graham County Search and Rescue

THE SEARCHER’S PRAYER

When I am called to duty God,

Whenever people fall,

Give me the strength to save one life,

whatever be the call.

Whether on foot or in flight,

Oh Lord, with all of your might,

Lead me to embrace the small, lost child

or save the injured from the wild.

Out from rivers edge

or overlooking this ledge,

Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout

to quickly and efficiently bring my brother out.

With my desire to serve, ability to perform, and the courage to act,

Lord, allow me to deliver my neighbor safely back.

There are no bounds to which I’ll give,

These things I do so that others may live.

And when according to your will,

My earthly tasks must end,

Lord, please bless with your protecting hand

My family and my friends.
