Daniel
King Darius said,
“Bow down and worship me,
or else I’ll feed you to the lions.”
But Daniel said,
“I will not worship thee,
go on and feed me to the lions.”
And then God said,
“Since Daniel worshiped me,
I’ll shut the mouth of ev’ry lion.”
I’ll be like Daniel.
I’ll worship only God,
and God will always help me
even if they feed me to the lions.

Songs may be used to teach your own Bible class and/or your own children.
Years ago we used songs from “It’s Cool in the Furnace” for Daniel. There was also a 2nd musical about Daniel that I can’t remember at the moment. It wasn’t as engaging as the first one, but perhaps the song was a part of that 2nd one.
Grandma has family & small group lessons on the whole book of Daniel. We approached the study from the standpoint that WE are aliens in this world, just as Daniel was in Babylon. Perhaps they can give you more ideas. You’ll find them at:

Thank you, this was a great resource for my Sunday school class!
Hey Mrs. Diana!
Thanks for this wonderful song on Daniel! Love it! I also am searching for another Daniel song that I’ve learned in the past and I thought that you wrote it, but I’m not sure.. I can remember most of it in my head, but would like to get it on paper – the words are:
Open you window, pray Daniel pray. Pray like you always do. Open your window, 3 times a day, God will take care of you.. Daniel be true, God’s watching you, Daniel the way is clear. Daniel be true, God’s watching you (and I can’t remember the last few words… Haha)
Were you the writer of this one? If so, could you let me know where I can get a copy? Thanks! :)
Hi Kensi, I’m glad you like the song. It was a fun one to write. I have not heard the one you’re looking for. It sounds like a good one though. When you find it, let me know.
Thank you dear you all,
This is very helpful for me to teach my child the words of God and build her faith.
God Bless You all
Thank you Diana, for all you posts on teaching children. They are inspiring and encouraging. Do you know of any workshops on teaching children’s classes? I live in northwest Louisiana near Shreveport and would be willing to drive a reasonable distance to attend. I was just wondering. I teach preschoolers and sometimes feel like my “ideal well” is running low… Does that make sense? Thank you and God bless, Sherr Shockley
I definitely understand about the “idea well” running low. Mine does too on occasion. I don’t of any scheduled workshops. If you hear of any between here and there, let me know. I’d like to attend as well.
