Daniel’s Song
By Hope Ellen Rapson
Tempted in Babylon
A new name required,
He would not be one,
Caving into desire.
In that world’s kingdom,
He would stand with three,
Loyal to the One
Who made them free.
He worked with rich and proud,
Choosing integrity,
Neither cocky, nor cowed,
But with humility.
Among all who lie or cheat,
He knelt to praise, and pray,
The Holy God Complete,
His King, his Rock, his Stay.
Threats of loss, fire, or lions
Did not his heart control.
His body lived for God,
The One who owned his soul.
So may I bear salvation’s seal,
Whenever I stand or kneel,
I live for this alone--- to reveal,
The Holy God who’s real.
