Daniel met only goodwill and sympathy.
He had the gift of interpreting every vision and  dream.
His courage unlocked his prison’s key.
Give me strength to join his courageous   team.

Daniel could have eaten forbidden meat.
But he ate only of the  vegetable.
But for all that it was  wholesome and sweet.
All was found to be acceptable .

I doubt I would I would ever have this courage
But if you stand firm you get results.
I do easily surrender to  all discourage.
But Daniel passed into glory from insults.

He was raised into the King’s confidence.
Give me strength to avoid fear’s reticence.

………

Speak truth to power
And you may achieve your ends
Or you might lose all

See Daniel 1 :1-6, 8-20
