Lyrics: Songs That Begin With "D"
-D-
Daniel Prayed - sung by Patty Loveless, written by Ralph Stanley
I read about a man one day
Dust On The Bible - Kitty Wells
I went into a home one day to see some friends of mine
Chorus:
You can read your magazines, read of love and tragic things
If you have a friend you'd like to help along life's way
He wasted not his time away
He prayed to God
Every morning noon and night
He cared not for the things avail
But trusted one who never fails
Oh, Daniel prayed
Each morning, noon and night
*****************************
CHORUS:
Oh Daniel served his living God
While upon the earth he trod
He prayed to God each morning, noon and night
He cared not for the king's decrees
But trusted God to set him free
Oh Daniel prayed every morning, noon and night
*****************************
They locked him in the lion's den
Because he could not honor men
But he prayed to God
Every morning, noon and night
The jaws were locked, it made him shout
And God soon brought him safely out
Oh Daniel prayed
Every morning, noon and night
*****************************
CHORUS:
*****************************
Now 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 dare and do
And pray to God He'll see us through
Oh, Daniel prayed
Every morning, noon and night
*****************************
CHORUS:
Of all the books and magazines, not a Bible could I find
I asked them for the Bible, when they brought it what a shame
For the dust was covered o'er it, not a fingerprint was plain.
Dust on the Bible, dust on the Holy Word
The words of all our prophets and the sayings of our Lord
Of all the books you'll find there's none salvation holds
Get that dust off the Bible, and redeem your poor soul.
But not one word of Bible verse, not a scripture do you know
When it is the very truth, and it's contents good for you
But if dust is covered o'er it, it is sure to doom your soul.
Just tell him that the Good Book shows a mortal how to pray
The best advice to give him that will make his burden light
Is to dust the family Bible, trade the wrong way for the right.
