Well, I heared about a man one day
Who didn’t waste his life away.
He prayed to God every morning, noon, and night,
Cared not for the things avail,
But trust in him who never fail.
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night.

They cast him in the lion’s den,
Because he would not honor men.
He prayed to God every morning, noon, and night.
The jaws was locked; it made him shout;
He trusted God to take him out.
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night.

Oh, Daniel served the living God,
While upon this earth he trod.
He prayed to God every morning, noon, and night,
Cared not for the things avail,
But trusted him who never fails.
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night.

Brother, let us watch and pray
Like Daniel did from day to day.
He prayed to God every morning, noon, and night.
We too can gladly carry the news
And trust in him who’ll carry us through.
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night.
