Daniel stood the awful test
Without a single cringe…
Trusting God to close the mouths
Of lions inside their den.
It wreaked with a horrid smell,
Where bones were strewn around.
Reminisce of those who fell-
Refusing to "bow" down.
An Angel came to help him out
And calm the ravenous beasts,
So Daniel could praise the Lord
And have some mental peace!
Then the King came peeking,
Expecting a sad scene…
But what he actually witnessed
Was calm and quite serene.
I guess it just goes to prove-
If we live by FAITH;
No matter how things "look" or "smell,"
We CAN emerge UNSCATHED!
