I'm gonna lift up a standard for my King Everywhere
I'm gonna lift up a standard for my King Everywhere
Oh, Lordy, Lord, Lord, I'm gonna sing.


I'm gonna lift up a standard for my King.
I'm gonna lift up a standard for my King. (Everywhere)

Oh, Lordy, Lord, I'm gonna sing.


Oh the captain put Daniel in the Lion's Den,
Daniel was starved, and feelin' no God,
Lawdy knows, and Lawd, but now,
I'm gonna lift up a standard for my King.

Oh, Lordy, Lord, I'm gonna sing.

I'm pained with trouble, all night long.
Woke up at three o'clock, Daniel gone.
Looked out early in the mornin' to see -
Lawd I'm starvin' for the newborn King.
