In the Silence (Daniel 6 Faith Under Pressure)

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

I drew a line in the sand that day

So choose your body, choose your breath

Everyone's around me inside

Stay quiet now if you will, you lie

But I knelt before a high phone

Long before the humanity

So I bow my knee like every day

And even when I'm in the frame

I felt the weight, I heard the dread

But you were louder in my chest

I won't close my mouth in fear

I won't wait my faith to disappear

Oh, when the night falls and no one sees

God is fighting solidly

He let the lion roar

He let the ground give way

I will stand up

I believe God fights in the sand

They shoot a stone at the dark

No voices left, no second chance

Just be prepared in the cold of night

No train for what I had in here

Oh, I didn't know how long would come

Oh, I believe I would not know

That somewhere in the unseen world

He was always closing doors

No sound, no fire, no shaking ground

Just heaven open without a sound

I won't close my mouth in fear

I won't wait my faith to disappear

Oh, when the night falls and no one sees

God is fighting solidly

He let the lion roar

He let the ground give way

I will stand up

I believe God fights in the sand

If I live, I live for truth

If I fall, I fall in you

My obedience is not for show

It's written deep inside my soul

You don't need me to defend the lame

You just ask me not to bend

So I'll stay right where I am

You'll do what I'm calling you again

I won't close my mouth in fear

I won't bow to what they see

When the world turns against me

You are still surrounding me

Let the lion roar once more

Let the light stretch wide and long

I will stand up

I will believe

God fights in the sand

When it comes, the storm is rolling

My God is safe and warm

And I'm still.
