INVINCIBLE

Jayne Holmes Warren

Jerusalem, a city fair,
Was focal point for one in prayer;
With open window, unafraid
Of mandates by conspirators made,
Thrice daily did his prayers arise
To God, omnipotent, all-wise.
Although the king had set his seal,
The man convicted made appeal;
Although the Medes' and Persians' law
Revoked, no kingdom ever saw,
His King invalidated "laws"
And paralyzed fierce lions' jaws!

Unmoved by error's subtle scheme,
Affrighted not by horror's scene,
The man condemned emerged unscathed,
For by his God was Daniel saved.
Invincible, he staunchly stood
Admitting naught in thought but good.
Across the ages sounds his call :
The unchanged God is All-in-all.
No treachery, no beast of prey
Can harm; He's just the same today!
