Verse 1: Taken young to Babylon, A captive from his land, But Daniel purposed in his heart, For God alone to stand. "Give us vegetables and water," He asked the official there, And God gave them knowledge, wisdom, Beyond all others' care. Chorus: In the lion's den, God shut their mouths, In the fiery furnace, walked the fourth, Through every trial, every test, God's faithful ones He'd protect. Daniel prayed three times a day, His window open wide, No decree of man could make him, His devotion hide. Verse 2: Nebuchadnezzar's dream of statue grand, No wise man could explain, But Daniel sought his God in prayer, And God revealed the reign. "A rock cut out, not by human hands, Will crush the kingdoms all, And God's kingdom will never end, It will never fall." Chorus: In the lion's den, God shut their mouths, In the fiery furnace, walked the fourth, Through every trial, every test, God's faithful ones He'd protect. Daniel prayed three times a day, His window open wide, No decree of man could make him, His devotion hide. Bridge: The satraps plotted jealously, "No one can pray to any god, Except to you, O king," they said, And Darius signed the fraud. But Daniel prayed as he always had, They threw him to the lions' den, At dawn the king came running, "Has your God delivered you, my friend?" Final Chorus: In the lion's den, God shut their mouths, In the fiery furnace, walked the fourth, Through every trial, every test, God's faithful ones He'd protect. Daniel prayed three times a day, His window open wide, No decree of man could make him, His devotion hide. "My God sent His angel," Daniel said, "And I was kept from harm, Because I was found innocent, Safe in His mighty arm."
