Christian Cops

Yes I believe in Jesus
Are the words that I say
When someone I've arrested
Cries, pleads and prays

Yes I believe in Jesus
Are words they need to hear
When sentenced to prison
And given twenty years

Yes I believe in Jesus
I have already found my way
My believing hurts no others
And help me through my day

Yes I believe in Jesus
And still I do my job
Protecting from the dangers
With a guiding light from above

Yes I believe in Jesus
And inside I feel your pain
For Jesus can forgive you
But Justice requires you pay

Yes I believe in Jesus


Carl Joseph Roberts
So many times every day in the back of a cruiser, cops are asked if they believe in a hope that their belief will allow freedom from a crime.  Freedom and forgiveness is something you must seek from up above.  I never preached to anyone I arrested for my beliefs is my own.  I believe that there are many different paths to be taken. Some people are guided to preach , some guided as teachers,some nurses, firefighters and many other professions. We all have a different path and for many cops that path is to protect.
