Daniel Prayed: The Covered Song
“Daniel Prayed” is one of The Isaacs songs in their album, Living Years, released in 2013. It is a bluegrass/southern gospel song. The song talks about Daniel the prophet and how he prayed all day long, always trusting in God and his faith never ever shaking. If you can remember how they punished Daniel, this is the story of the song.
Here’s a brief preview of Daniel’s story, he was thrown into the lions’ den to be eaten because he didn’t want to serve man. But Daniel was not afraid, his faith grew stronger each day as he prayed to the Lord. Now if you feel like God is not around and you are scared, always remember Daniel and how he prayed to the Lord.
There is also a version of “Daniel Prayed” by Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs
Here’s a beautiful song by The Isaacs, “Daniel Prayed.”

Question?
Can you show me a verse or verses in the bible that mentions the cross? I cannot find it but there is mention of the word “stake” several times. According to the bible it tells that Jesus died on a stake. This is misleading for someone learning and trying to understand the Great Book.
