Tim is great at writing fun songs and this one is no exception. In concert Tim likes to point out that it was Daniel's prayers which got him into the lion's den and the same prayers which got him out.

I also like the part of the song that makes you wonder what would happen if doctors started dispensing directions to pray three times a day along with medicine to their patients! - Phillip

Well the king, he sure liked Daniel
‘Cause he knew that he was able
To talk with God
And hear what He had to say
Well the king’s friends tried to trick him
And they threw Daniel in the lion’s den
But God saved his life ‘cause he prayed
Three times a day

(Chorus)
When you pray three times a day
When you have a little faith
Then you’ll know that God protects you
Come what may
When you choose to make a stand
And hold the Master’s hand
Hungry mouths of lions will close
At His command

Well if only we could be that faithful
And we’d prove that God is graceful
Then our worries and doubts in time
Would slowly fade
Well we could change the face of science
If we cured the sick and dyin’
If the doctor said, “Son, take two of these
And pray three times a day!”

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Hungry mouths of lions will close
At His command
Hungry mouths of lions will close
At His command
