 * DIdn't My Lord Deliver Daniel**

"Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel" is an African-American spiritual that recounts the Old Testament story of Daniel being protected by God when he was put into the lion's den. It also mentions the biblical stories of God "delivering" Jonah from the belly of the whale and the "children" (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) from the fiery furnace. The text is an allegory for the struggles that have faced the African-American people and other people throughout the ages.
