Lyrics
[Intro] [Heavy stone slab grinding shut & quiet lion breathing in dark]
Hebrews chapter eleven, verse thirty-three. Daniel chapter six.
He trusted in his God
and no wound was found on him.
[Verse 1] [Fingerpicked Acoustic & Muted Cello]
The royal decree was signed in gold by Babylon's decree
That no man pray to any god except the king's decree
Yet Daniel walked into his room
three times throughout the day
With windows open toward Jerusalem to bow his head and pray
He bowed before no golden statue, made no compromised prayer
Giving thanks to Elohim within the quiet air
They threw him down the pit of stone among the hungry jaws
Because he kept the holy truth of God's eternal laws
[Pre-Chorus] [Felt Piano & Warm String Quartet]
The stone was sealed
the king wept long throughout the sleepless night
While in the dark an angel stood in uncreated light
[Chorus] [Reverent Sacred Deliverance Drop]
Kneeling toward Jerusalem three times a day in prayer
Finding the Almighty's hand protecting everywhere!
Shutting the mouths of lions in the cold and darkened den
Proving that the living God is sovereign over men!
Fear no pit, fear no king, let pure devotion stay
Daniel remained unbroken on his knees to pray!
[Verse 2] [Acoustic Guitar & Tenor Lead]
At dawn the king ran to the pit and cried in anguish sore
'O Daniel, servant of the Lord whom you in truth adore,
Has your God been able to deliver you this night?'
'O king, live on forever, I was blameless in His sight!'
[Bridge] [Soaring Tenor Belt & Full Sacred Choir]
Oh, faith that shuts the lions' mouth and conquers every fear!
Knowing that the angel of the Lord is always near!
Prayer, devotion, loyalty to Elohim alone
Before whose majesty we bow at heaven's golden throne!
[Chorus] [Full Grand Deliverance Climax]
Kneeling toward Jerusalem three times a day in prayer
Finding the Almighty's hand protecting everywhere!
Shutting the mouths of lions in the cold and darkened den
Proving that the living God is sovereign over men!
Fear no pit, fear no king, let pure devotion stay
Daniel remained unbroken on his knees to pray!
[Outro] [Gentle Felt Piano & Distant Temple Chime]
Daniel chapter six...
No harm came to him
because he trusted in his God. Amen.
[Fade Out]
