Refrain:
Dare to be a Daniel!
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known!
Standing by a purpose true,
heeding God’s command,
honor them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel’s band!
Many mighty men are lost,
daring not to stand,
who for God had been a host
by joining Daniel’s band. [Refrain]
Many giants, great and tall,
stalking through the land,
headlong to the earth would fall,
if met by Daniel’s band. [Refrain]
Hold the gospel banner high;
on to vict’ry grand;
Satan and his host defy,
and shout for Daniel’s band. [Refrain]
Philip Bliss, 1873
Read Daniel 9:8-19
(Not only did Daniel hold onto his convictions in a culture where compromise would have been easy. Not only that but he fervently prayed for his people. Holiness and intercession. We need those in the body of Christ.)
