Lord, make me fast and accurate

[TheWeeze]

I've never heard this before today.

Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hand faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”; and Lord if today is truly the day that You call me home, let me die in a pile of brass.

I believe Johnny Depp's character, the sniper, was reciting that before his shots in the D-Day landing scene of "Saving Private Ryan".

I remember Mel Gibson reciting the first line in "The Patriot" before attacking the British convoy, but this is the first I saw of the rest of the saying.

I believe Barry Pepper played that role.
