Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Remembering Daniel
Who was he?
#VERSE
She had been a believer in Heaven and Hell
And Kelly still had murky visions from the summer she fell...
Fell deep in love, that week at church camp
Rained the whole time, and everything stayed damp
#PRE-CHORUS
But she trudged the muddy path to Vesper Point
Sat by Stacy on a log bench next to the fire
Stacy turned and said, “Kelly, have you met Daniel yet?”
Kelly shook his hand then felt her forehead perspire
#CHORUS
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Remembering Daniel
Who was he?
#VERSE
Kelly snuck glances past Stacy at Daniel’s face
Wisps of sunlight faded black, Pastor Mark said grace
As s’mores melted by the fire, all told stories and laughed
That’s when Kelly noticed Daniel sneaking glances back
#PRE-CHORUS
But then Daniel turned angelic, when he took out his guitar
Twenty-seven youthful voices rising through the silent wood
But Kelly only heard one voice, praising their shared Lord
Walked back to camp next to Daniel, and his presence felt good
#CHORUS
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Remembering Daniel
Who was he?
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Kelly’s church camp love
Way back when she was seventeen
#BRIDGE
It didn’t take long
They were only there a week
The next day Daniel found Kelly
Politely asked, “Can we speak?”
They sat behind the outdoor altar
Where they talked and then they kissed
God watched clothes get wet from rain-soaked grass
But young lovers can’t resist
#INSTRUMENTAL
#VERSE
In the hills behind the cabins, in the mess hall’s locked pantry
Kissing and more continued, wherever others couldn’t see
Saturday, they hugged in public, asked Pastor Mark to say a prayer
For God to bless their young romance, among His trees and open air
#VERSE
Then Daniel drove away to study music ministry
Kelly tried to contact Daniel, felt their love was holy
Now she sits at the bar laughing, beliefs and body gone by theft
‘Cause Jesus disappeared the same day Daniel left
#CHORUS
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Remembering Daniel
Who was he?
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Kelly’s church camp love
Way back when she was seventeen
#CHORUS
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Remembering Daniel
Who was he?
Remembering Daniel
(Daniel, Daniel)
Just another murky vision
The lie that broke all her belief
