Did you ever want to be a cop, drive a car with lights on top,

Wear a badge, wear a gun and be a help to everyone.


Well me I got to do it all and didn’t even miss my call,

for everywhere that I was sent, I took the truth I represent.


Jesus Christ, Gods only Son, who shed His blood for everyone,

drunks and druggies, killers too, liars, thieves, those in blue.

Teachers, preachers, businessmen, Kings and Queens for all have sinned.




Then one day the Chief told me, if this is where you want to be.

Keep your God away from here, for I’m the one that you should fear.


I told the Chief I can’t obey, cause Jesus is the only way.

The only way to peace within, the only way to conquer sin,

the only way to save a soul, the only way that I’ll patrol.




Now he knew just where I stood, and what he asked I never could.

I’d just seen too much fruitfulness, to ever try and second guess,

the restoration or the fame, that I have known in Jesus name.


Then it came as no surprise, I was told to compromise.

Separate your church and state or get prepared to terminate.

Well I refused to change my mind and told the Chief that I resign,

Easter Sunday ninety-five, Jesus Christ is still alive!!

William Heffner was out of work for over a year after his resignation. As he sought other police departments to give his uncompromising Christian services to, he couldn't get away from his past atheistic administration.

But William Heffner remained faithful. Finally a door opened in 1996 with the Department of Corrections, so he took his uncompromising Christian services to prison.

In 2001 William Heffner returned to police work on a part-time basis with a small city in SW Michigan. The Chief was an Ordained Minister and had no problem with a Christian police officer.

In 2002 William Heffner was chosen to be a part of the Olympic Police Force during the winter games in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In 2002 William Heffner was also selected as the Officer of the Year for the Correctional Facility where he is employed. In addition to this, William Heffner was one of the top 5 finalist for Officer Of The Year for the state of Michigan.

To finish off 2002 William Heffner added another Part-Time Police job to his resume as he was hired by the local Sheriffs department and assigned to the local schools. God Is Good All The Time!

William Heffner knows that in this life we will have problems, but the faithful never lose, their best days are ahead of them, because they are Champions.

Keep the faith, you were born to win!



The Champion


I wanted to be a champion,

to quench my winning thirst,

but I could never get beyond,

second place to first.




Winning just eluded me,

in every single quest,

though working hard and practicing,

to try and be the best.




Then I went above it all.

To find out what succeeds

and there I found the winning edge,

that every champion needs;




Faith to get the victory

and faith to know within.

Champions always keep the faith,

the faithful always win!

Romans 1:16

I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.
