They have taken us to a new place A land that’s not our own They have given us new names But we know who’s in control So we purposed in our hearts From the very start, that we would serve our God They fed us delicacies But we chose to refuse We held onto the prophecies Trusting God that He would do what He promised to do
2.
Wisdom and might are His He changes times and seasons He rules over kings He’s the one who controls them All knowledge is His Yes, all understanding He knows the darkness But light dwells with Him Blessed be the Name of God, forever and ever We came to Him Asking for revelation He gave it to us So we will praise Him
3.
If We Burn 03:07
You were there in the fire You were there all along You’re the God we desire Through you we overcome If we burn, Then we burn, We will burn for you God
4.
How great are His signs And how great His wonders And His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom His dominion goes from generation to generation He takes the proud And He lays them down He takes the proud And He takes their crowns
5.
You did it again You showed your great hand to the king Yahweh, your name is still great in the midst of our suffering You know times and seasons You know when kingdoms will fall or rise You give me wisdom For you are my prize In the midst of terror You showed your name to be great In the midst of mocking Your grace came
6.
All the years I’ve been here You have never forsaken me You deliver me from All my enemies No we won’t be afraid So throw is in the fire and we won’t get burned Throw us with the lions and we won’t get hurt Throw us in the grace and we’ll rise again And we’ll shine like stars over Bethlehem Though we were strangers You raised us up you gave us favor And as we stayed faithful You always delivered us from danger For you are the living God Enduring forever Your Kingdom will never end, Yes, you God are sovereign
7.
I had a dream in the night That terrified me One that I could not understand One that brought me no peace I saw the future unfold my eyes I saw kingdoms fall and rise It disturbed me for many days Oh I don’t know what to say But I saw the ancient of days Hair white as wool and a beautiful face I saw the great and terrible day Where we’ll all be changed

9.
Great and awesome God Full of steadfast love You made a covenant with us But we have turned and run To you belongs righteousness You have mercy and forgiveness We have not obeyed your voice No we have not obeyed your voice Oh please turn away from our sin Turn, turn to us again Hear our prayer for your name sake Please, Lord, show us mercy We trust you are in control We believe that you can deliver us, Lord 70 years and you promised freedom See our tears and have mercy on us Allyssa: Oh, Daniel, greatly loved, To you I have come, I heard your prayer from the start, Take heart, take heart God will deliver you In the time He chooses There is hope for you, there is hope for you
10.
Shine 07:15
You are sovereign over all You give me strength, Oh God You know when kingdoms will fall You have shown me it all (even though) I saw visions that terrified me Kingdoms and kings rising and falling I saw my people fall by the sword Can you help me, Lord, understand? How long, how long Until these things come, ‘til they come? How long ‘til the son of man returns again? How long? Oh my God I have seen too much What do I do with all of this? You tell me to seal it up You tell me to conceal all of it How long, how long Until these things come, ‘til they come? ‘til the son of man comes again How long, how long ‘til we shine like stars over Bethlehem? I will watch and wait for that day For the son of man to come and change this I will watch and wait for that day For the son of man to come again, to come again and make us shine… The days are not over yet The son of man has not come We will shine in the New Jerusalem

about

This project consists of 10 songs that were written after studying the book of Daniel in a class at Northwestern College. I (Josh) would encourage you to do a couple things as you listen to the songs. First, go through the reason why I wrote the song and read the lyrics before listening to the song. Second, have your Bible open and read the chapter to see what really went on, since a song can only capture only so much. I believe it will help you understand the heart of the song and be able to engage in the song a little more than just listening to it. These songs are written from the perspective of Daniel. Even though Daniel isn’t in every chapter, I am sure he heard about the events that happened. I hope these songs help you see Daniel in a new way and also see God as sovereign and in control, so we can worship Him, because His kingdom never ends.

Download the album for free and get a packet with lyrics and stories behind the songs, as well as a few photos from the recording sessions.
