DANIEL

DANIEL Flames roared hot in Babylon’s furnace Three men stood and would not bow They refused the king’s golden idol Chose the fire over breaking vow Yet in the blaze a Fourth appeared Walking with them calm and bright Feet like bronze, face like lightning Turned the raging heat to light In the lion’s den at midnight Daniel knelt with open door Angels sealed the hungry mouths While the king lay sick with fear once more He saw the Ancient of Days enthroned Thrones cast down in holy flame Then One like Son of Man approaching With power, glory, and endless reign We face our furnaces in silence We hear the lions roar again Give us courage forged in trial Give us faith that will not bend When the fire is all around us When the beasts are at the gate When the world demands we bow down Give us strength to stand and wait When the night feels never-ending When the chains feel far too tight Remind us You are in the furnace You are with us in the fight: You are the Fourth Man in the fire You are the Lion tamer strong You are the Ancient of Days rising You are the One who’s been here all along You are the Fourth Man in the fire You are the Lion tamer strong You are the Ancient of Days rising You are the One who’s been here all along
