Lion's Den Lyrics - Guardian

Once upon a time, in churches of old 

The Velcro age had yet to unfold 

Flannel was king and Sunday School knew 

How to make those Bible heroes, stick like glue 

How to make 'em stick with you 

Flannel graph lions, mounted and mean 

The Prophet Daniel in between 

Head toward heaven, sturdy and true 

A man of God who did not fear the gods of men 

He didn't fear the lion's den 

Every age at every stage 

Lions rage 

Pray, stand your ground 

They'll lie down 

Dumb struck, I was shaken and stirred 

He wouldn't kowtow, he kept God's word 

Teacher said, "Son, this could be you 

If you put your trust in God and not the praise of men 

You won't fear the lion's den" 

And if we play by lion's rules 

We start lionizing fools 

God wrote the book, He'll fortify 

And like the eagles we will fly 

We're gonna fly 

Late one night in a fever dream 

The Prophet Daniel came to me 

"Sir," I said, "I've lost my nerve 

I lip serve God and put my faith in Godless men 

I fear the lion's 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 grace 

So take deep breath, head up, set your face like flint 

And stop being a wimp"
