To the family, loved ones, friends and all who knew Deputy Sheriff Tephford, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time of grief and sorrow.
Another life taken by a senseless act by someone who cares for another's life.
IN DARKNESS IN SILENCE OF THE NIGHT WHEN ALL APPEARED
SAFE AND SECURE WHAT THIS OFFICER HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING
HE WAS BEGINNING HIS SHIFT OF LAST TOUR
SHOULD HAVE BEEN A ROUTINE TRAFFIC STOP
HE REQUESTED THEM NOT TO EXIT THEIR CAR HOWEVER THEY HAD NOTHING
LEFT TO LOSE AND THE SHOTS COULD BE HEARD FROM AFAR
THINGS THEN BECAME VERY PERSONAL
AS HIS LIFELESS BODY LAY ON THE GROUND
THEN YOU HEAR THE WORDS THAT STAND STILL
START ME A RESCUE UNIT OFFICER DOWN
A MIST OF GLOW FELL UPON THE SCENE
THE ARCHANGEL IN SPIRITUAL RADIANCE SHONE
WATCHING OVER THOSE IN THE UNIFORM OF BLUE
THEY ARE HIS CHARGES, CHILDREN OF THE THRONE
WHILE YOU NEVER TOOK THE TIME TO MEET HIM
OUR HEAVENLY FATHER KNOWS THEM ALL BY NAME
THEIR HONOUR, COURAGE, INTEGRITY AND PRIDE
THOUGH NONE EVER SOUGHT ANY GLORIOUS FAME
ON BENDED KNEE, HIS HEAD BOWED LOW
THROUGH TEARS THAT HAD COME AND GONE
MICHEAL GATHERED THIS OFFICER IN HIS ARMS
SLOWLY BEGIN THE ASCENSIONS JOURNEY ON
THERE AT HEAVENS MAGNIFICENT GATE
WAS GOD WAITING FOR THIS SOUL TO EMBRACE
WELCOME HOME MY SON, MY FIRST POLICE OFFICER
COME NOW AND WALK WITH ME IN EMINENT GRACE
