Ricky Skaggs has been a part of bluegrass music since he was a child, and he is one of the best musicians in that genre. Patty Loveless was raised in Kentucky (her father was a coal miner) and is the genuine article with a powerful and authentic voice. They team together to present this Ralph Stanley gospel song as it might have been done in the mountains.

DANIEL PRAYED
Ralph Stanley
G.T. Speer
1959
I read about a man one day
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
