The Lion's Den
Once upon a time in churches of oldThe velcro age had yet to unfoldFlannel was king and Sunday School knewHow to make those Bible heroes stick like glueHow to make 'em stick with youFlannelgraph lions, mounted and meanThe prophet Daniel in betweenHead toward heaven, sturdy and trueA man of God who did not fear the gods of menHe didn't fear the lions' denEvery age at every stageLions ragePray, stand your groundThey'll lie downDumb struck, I was shaken and stirredHe wouldn't kowtow, he kept God's wordTeacher said, "Son, this could be youIf you put your trust in God and not the praise of menYou won't fear the lions' den"And if we play by lions' rulesWe start lionizing foolsGod wrote the book, He'll fortifySongtexteAnd like the eagles we will flyWe're gonna flyLate one night in a fever dreamThe prophet Daniel came to me"Sir," I said, "I've lost my nerveI lip serve God and put my faith in Godless menI fear the lions' den"Then he said, "Who says I'm not a feline-phobe?Who says I wasn't ready to wet my robe?Faith is tough, boy, but God gives graceSo take deep breath, head up, set your face like flintAnd stop being a wimp"
