DANIEL


By Vickie Lambdin ©

Daniel was a righteous man;
He found favor in God's eyes,
But he was thrown into the lions den,
By King Darius, and his spies.

King Daruis, and his mighty men;
A new law, had they decreed,
A plan to worship only him,
But, Daniel disagreed.

Now, Daniel got down on his knees;
At least, three times a day,
And to his "Living God Above,"
He would always kneal, and pray.

King Darius became angry;
And told Daniel, he had sinned,
By ignoring his new decree,
To fall down, and worship him.

So, the King consulted with his princes;
And followers within,
To lead Daniel from the palace,
And into the lion's den.

Then, the King said to Daniel;
"The God you serve,He will deliver you,"
But, Daniel didn't say a word,
Until his ordeal, was through.

Now, God's angels came into the night;
To shut the lions mouth,
And when the King arrived at dawn,
He knew there was no doubt;

That Daniel's God,was "The Living God,"
So, man should tremble and fear,
For, He delivered Daniel from the lions mouth,
Without harm, he did appear.

Now King Darius made a new decree;
For his people, throughout the land.
To worship Daniel's "Living God,"
And to follow Daniel's plan.

DANIEL
