Daniel

Teach me, Daniel

Belteshazzar

A name does not define

The whole of who you are

Lead me, Daniel

In paths narrow or broad

That the feet of the faithful

Before me have trod

Comfort me, Daniel

Through the pain of withdrawal

You know the way

To lose some for all

It is hard, Daniel

Yet must we still

Stand against man’s idols

And bow to God’s will

Show me, Daniel

How faith is done

From cells to thrones to lion's den

Thus hearts of kings are won

Thank you, Daniel

For spreading the fire

God’s spark in one's heart

Alights the world entire
