Daniel Prayed
Patty Loveless Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He wasted not his time away
He prayed to God
Every morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the things avail
But trusted one who never fails
Oh, Daniel prayed
Each morning, noon, and night
Oh, Daniel served his living God
While upon the earth he trod
He prayed to God each morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the king's decrees
But trusted God to set him free
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night
They locked him in the lions' den
Because he could not honor men
But he prayed to God
Every morning, noon, and night
The jaws were locked; it made him shout
And God soon brought him safely out
Oh, Daniel prayed
Every morning, noon, and night
Oh, Daniel served his living God
While upon the earth he trod
He prayed to God each morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the king's decrees
But trusted God to set him free
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night
Now, brother, let us watch and pray
Like Daniel did from day to day
He prayed to God
Every morning, noon, and night
We, too, can gladly dare and do
And pray to God he'll see us through
Oh, Daniel prayed
Every morning, noon, and night
Oh, Daniel served his living God
While upon the earth he trod
He prayed to God each morning, noon, and night
He cared not for the king's decrees
But trusted God to set him free
Oh, Daniel prayed every morning, noon, and night
The lyrics to Patty Loveless's song "Daniel Prayed" tell the story of the Biblical figure Daniel and his steadfast devotion to God. The opening lines describe how Daniel prayed constantly, without ceasing, every morning, noon, and night. He did not waste time on earthly pursuits or possessions, but instead trusted in God, who he believed would never fail him.
The song goes on to describe how Daniel remained faithful to God even when it meant defying earthly authority, as when he refused to obey the king's decrees and was thrown into the lions' den as punishment. Despite this extreme test of his faith, Daniel continued to pray to God, and in the end his prayers were answered: the jaws of the lions were locked and he emerged unharmed. The song encourages listeners to take inspiration from Daniel's example and to follow his lead in praying to God continually and trusting Him to see them through life's challenges.
Overall, "Daniel Prayed" is a stirring tribute to the power of faith and prayer, and a reminder of the rewards that await those who remain steadfast in their devotion to God.

There’s nothing sweeter than three part bluegrass harmonies. There’s nothing better than hearing Patty Loveless sing. And there’s nothing prettier than Patty Loveless’ smile.

"Oh Daniel served the living God while upon this earth he trod, he cared not for the king's decree but trusted God to set him free, oh Daniel prayed, every morning, noon and night." Thousands of years later, those are still some words to live by.

I'm an old rocker who loves bluegrass. This recording gives chills every time I watch it. As does Patti and Vince Gill at the Grand Ole Opryl
