OPENING THE BOOK

Lyrics: Nehemiah Guitar and Guinnethon
Music: Paul Michael

Intro: (C#m)-(A)

(C#m)Taken captive in war I was brought to the (A)king,
(C#m)From a child I was taught to be wise in all (A)things,
(E)Babylon (D)now is our (A)home,
(E)Through us the future is (C#m)soon to be known

I remember the king had a (A)dream,
He (C#m)called his magicians and asked them what could it all (A)mean;
But (E)Daniel made (D)known the king's (A)thoughts,
The (E)kingdoms of man would soon (C#m)all come to nau(B)ght (E)

(E)Opening the book of Solomon I understood the number of the coming years,
An angel came and gave the answer to my prayer, the vision was becoming clear,
I saw (A)four kings falling in a line, a (B)final one near the end of time,
When (A)God will establish His (E)Kingdom on (B)earth

(C#m)We refused to bow down to their image of (A)gold,
(C#m)So were cast in a furnace but God made us (A)bold,
And (E)He was with (D)us in the (A)flame,
We (E)walked out unharmed and His (C#m)might we pro(B)claim(A)ed

(Em)All a(C)lone in the (D)den of the (Em)lions
(C)I sat for(D)saken for the (Bm)envy of (C)man,
But the (Em)God whom I (C)serve has (D)not ever (Em)failed me
And (C)delivered me (D)out of (Bm)their vicious (C)hands (C#m)-(A)-(C#m)-(A)-(E)

(E)Opening the book of Solomon I understood the number of the coming years,
An angel came and gave the answer to my prayer, the vision was becoming clear,
I saw (A)many people running to and fro,
(B)Ever learning but they still don't know,
(A)Time will run out for this (E)world we (B)know (E)
