[Downbeat Hook] He purposed in his heart before pressure had a voice, Conviction was settled before anyone saw the choice. [Verse 1] A city fell and four names crossed the plain, Babylon renamed them but could not rename faith. The king set a table with a kingdom in each cup, Daniel saw a boundary and quietly stood up. [Chorus] He purposed in his heart before pressure had a voice, Conviction was settled before anyone saw the choice. Ten days of water, simple food, and trust, No public display and no contempt for the court. [Verse 2] God gave favor, wisdom, language, and sight, They learned Babylon without bowing to its gods. Ten times better when the testing was done, Not because exile vanished, but because faith endured. [Bridge] A new name may be spoken, a true heart remains, Daniel purposed before the empire explained. [Final Chorus] He purposed in his heart before pressure had a voice, Conviction was settled before anyone saw the choice. No public display and no contempt for the court. Daniel purposed before the empire explained.
