DANIEL – Kingdoms of Dust by Bro H

Verse 1 By the rivers of Babylon we stood Strangers in a foreign land Young men taken from Judah’s line Placed in the king’s own hand They changed our names, they fed their wine But the heart would not be sold “I will not bow to idols of men” Though the furnace burns sevenfold Chorus Kings rise up and kingdoms fall Stone cut out with no man’s hand Iron breaks and towers crumble Dust before the Lamb Ancient of Days upon the throne Books of heaven opened wide Saints will stand and take the kingdom When the beasts have had their time Verse 2 Nebuchadnezzar dreamed that night Of a statue bright as flame Gold to silver, bronze to iron Empires carved in vain But a stone came down from heaven Struck the kingdoms of the earth Wind blew dust across the valley God alone has worth Verse 3 Three men stood in a furnace blaze Heat like the wrath of kings But a fourth walked in the fire there Shielded by unseen wings “Blessed be the God who saves,” Even tyrants had to say For no decree of mortal power Can steal a soul away Verse 4 Daniel prayed when the law forbade Windows toward the sky They sealed him in the lion’s den Certain he would die But the lions slept through the longest night While heaven closed their jaws Morning proved before the king The power of higher laws Bridge Beasts rise out of the restless sea Crowns of pride and war Horn of arrogance speaking lies Saints oppressed once more But the court of heaven gathers near Judgment fills the air Ancient throne of burning fire Justice waiting there Final Chorus Kings rise up and kingdoms fall Stone cut out with no man’s hand Iron breaks and towers crumble Dust before the Lamb Ancient of Days upon the throne Books of heaven opened wide Saints will stand and take the kingdom When the beasts have had their time
