The Basics Of Life cover
08. Livin' In the Lions Mouth
Album: The Basics Of Life
Artist: 4HIM
         
 

I want a chance to tame the lion
To be a brave smile in the face of danger
Heads will turn
I want to bear my soul to the stranger
Lay my head in the jaws of destruction
And never fear
CHORUS
Because I know
If they would see my faith in the Lord
They might see His amazing grace
Like the center ring
In the middle of a roaring crowd
Oh to be living, oh living Livin’ in the lion’s mouth

I want to crack the whip of courage
That they believe would be my challenge
At any risk I want to please the stands of heaven
In a silent way
I hear the applauding
So close the cage…

CHORUS

BRIDGE
To serve with the loyalty of Daniel
You can throw me to the lions in this world
I will lift my head in undenial and lay it on the line

REPEAT CHORUS
