Daniel Song 20 - We're Jealous of That Daniel
Daniel 6:4-27

1. "We're jealous of that Daniel.
The King likes him the best.
He's faithful and not negligent,
He's better than the rest!
He's so distinguished, has an excellent spirit!
How can we trap him? He prays to his God!

2. King Darius, live forever!
We think you are so cool!
No prayer to anyone but you -
Write up a brand new rule!
Establish an edict: thirty days no prayer!
Those who pray to God or man,
Throw in the lions' lair!"

3. Though Daniel was aware of
What the edict did forbid,
He knelt and at his window prayed
Just like he always did.
He prayed to His God,
Even while they watched and hid;
Prayed to His God, just like he always did!

4. King Darius was so upset
He'd fallen for the trap.
Not harming Daniel was his goal;
He worked all day on that.
"Your law now demands that
You throw him to the lions' den!"
Darius agreed then, and they threw him in.

5. "Your God you serve continually,
He will deliver you!"
The king then fasted all night long,
His sleep fled from him, too.
He went to the lions' den at the morning dew;
Shouted to Daniel —
"Has your God delivered you?"

6. "My God has sent His angel
And has shut the lion's jaws,
For innocence was found in me."
They did not use their claws!
"My God delivers! My God delivers!
My God delivers — He's the living God!"
Daniel's God delivers, Daniel's God delivers
Daniel's God delivers — He's the living God!

(Can be sung to: Wait for the Wagon)
