Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I read about a man one day
He wasted not his time away
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every mornin', noon and night
He cared not for the things avail
Trusted one who never fails
Oh, Daniel prayed (Oh, Daniel prayed)
Every mornin', noon and night
[Verse 2]
Oh, Daniel served a living God (Daniel served)
While upon this Earth, he trod (Earth, he trod)
(He prayed to God) He prayed to God
Every mornin', noon and night
He cared not for the King's decree (Cared not for)
But trusted God to set him free (King's decree)
(Oh, Daniel prayed) Oh, Daniel prayed
Every mornin', noon, and night
[Verse 3]
They locked him in the lion's den
Because he would not honor men
But he prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every mornin', noon, and night
The jaws were locked, it made him shout
God soon brought him safely out
Oh, Daniel prayed (Oh, Daniel prayed)
Every mornin', noon, and night
[Verse 4]
Oh, Daniel served a living God (Daniel served)
While upon this Earth, he trod (Earth, he trod)
(He prayed to God) He prayed to God
Every mornin', noon, and night
He cared not for the King's decree (Cared not for)
But trusted God to set him free (King's decree)
(Oh, Daniel prayed) Oh, Daniel prayed
Every mornin', noon, and night
[Verse 5]
Now, brother, let us watch and pray
Like Daniel did from day to day
He prayed to God (He prayed to God)
Every mornin', noon and night
We too can gladly dare and do
And pray to God He'll see us through
Oh, Daniel prayed (Oh, Daniel prayed)
Every mornin', noon and night
[Verse 6]
Oh, Daniel served a living God (Daniel served)
While upon this Earth, he trod (Earth, he trod)
(He prayed to God) He prayed to God
Every mornin', noon and night
He cared not for the King's decree (Cared not for)
But trusted God to set him free (King's decree)
(Oh, Daniel prayed) Oh, Daniel prayed
Every mornin', noon, and night
