Daniel in the Lion's Den

Daniel’s in the lions’ den.
His enemies threw him in!
Now he can’t get out again.
Oh, what is he to do?

On his knees he starts to pray.
Pleading words he will say
That the lions stay away.
We know his faith is true.

Shivering beneath his cowl,
In the dark he sees them prowl.
Listens as they start to growl.
Oh, did God hear his prayer?

But he is safe when morning comes.
God had heard! The fear is gone!
His enemies are on the run!
Now all know God is there!

We liked how the poem captures Daniel’s fear and faith with such simple, vivid words, especially the “shivering beneath his cowl” line, which really made the moment feel real and so relatable. Cool stuff and praise God!
