Verse 1 Far from Zion, in a foreign land, Daniel stood with faithful hands. A captive boy, but his heart was free, Trusting the God of eternity. The king's rich table, he pushed aside, Choosing God's way over earthly pride. And the Lord gave wisdom, strength, and sight, To shine like stars in Babylon's night. Pre-Chorus When the world says bow, When the pressure's strong, God is still the King, And His throne goes on. Chorus Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, But the Lord forever reigns over all. Through the fire, through the den, He'll be faithful time and again. Empires crumble, crowns grow old, But His promises are worth more than gold. From Babylon to eternity, The King of kings is our victory. Verse 2 A statue stood in a dream one night, Gold and silver in the pale moonlight. But a stone cut out by heaven's hand, Brought every kingdom to the sand. Three faithful men faced the furnace flame, Refusing to deny God's name. And there in the fire, standing near, Was the Lord Himself saying, "Do not fear." Pre-Chorus When the flames burn hot, When the lions roar, God is still the One We've been waiting for. Chorus Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, But the Lord forever reigns over all. Through the fire, through the den, He'll be faithful time and again. Empires crumble, crowns grow old, But His promises are worth more than gold. From Babylon to eternity, The King of kings is our victory. Bridge Writing on the wall, judgment came, Prideful rulers could not escape His name. Beasts may rise and nations rage, But God is Lord of every age. One like the Son of Man appears, Receiving glory through the years. An everlasting kingdom shines, Beyond the end of space and time. Breakdown The Ancient of Days is seated high, The Judge of all beneath the sky. The saints will rise, the dead will wake, And every chain at last will break. Final Chorus Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, But the Lord forever reigns over all. Through the fire, through the den, He'll be faithful time and again. The stone becomes a mountain strong, Filling the earth with heaven's song. From Babylon to eternity, The King of kings is our victory. Outro Though the nations shake and the ages roll, God holds history in His control. Like Daniel, Lord, may we stand tall, Trusting the King above it all. Trusting the King above it all. The King above it all.
