Habakkuk 2:1
I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected.
Watchers at the rim
We are never those
Who seek glory, fame or wealth.
Nor the ones who charge
For our services and help.
We are honor bound to face the din.
We are the watchers at the rim.
We walk through darkness
To keep you free from fear and dread
So you'll be safe and sound
While you're sleeping in your bed.
We go where no one else dare tread.
We keep the weak safe from monstrous sin
We are the watchers at the rim.
No prize is offered,
Little remembrance of our dead.
Just a million tons of guilt
For every ounce of lead.
Side by side through thick and thin
We are the watchers at the rim.
Facing scorn, slander, hatred and disdain
Seeking justice for the victims,
For the survivors, and the slain.
We will always acquit ourselves as men.
We will always be there again and again.
For you we risk our life and limb
We are the watchers at the rim.
Psalm127:1b
Unless the LORD guards the city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
