LYRICS
When they throw Daniel in…
Me into the den
I feel you next to me
Lion there next to me
Lying there next to me
I feel you next to me
[Daniel 6]
“May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
Rescue you
[Daniel 5]
The Writing on the Wall
Feared by all
Never say never Nebuchadnezzar
Suddenly the fingers appeared
and wrote on the plaster of the wall
All feared
Never say never Nebuchadnezzar
His heart became arrogant
Hardened with pride,
He was deposed
Stripped of his glory… driven away… given the mind of an animal
Lived with the wild donkeys… ate grass like the ox
Heaven’s gates lock
mene, mene, tekel, parsin
Your days are numbered
The writing on the wall
Your days are numbered
Total… in all
Encumbered
[Daniel 6]
They say you can’t pray
A month to the day
They say you can’t pray
No deal
No repeal
Did you not see the decree

Daniel 6:15 Then the men went as a group to King Darius and said to him, “Remember, Your Majesty, that according to the law of the Medes and Persians no decree or edict that the king issues can be changed.”
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.
