Outside the Camp

Outside the Camp

(Inspired by Book of Daniel Chapters one and two)

By David Smith November 14, 2010

 

Not inside the veil, but outside the camp

That is the danger, our walk as we tramp;

Outside the Lord, where relationships are bleak;

Not inside the furnace with the dreadful heat;

That was the message from Daniel this day;

Where Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego got to stay

In the fiery furnace safe and alive;

Obedience to the Lord, the faith to thrive.

Outside the camp as outside the LORD

Room for evil to come right on board;

The fiery furnace can be a safe place to dwell;

Faith in the LORD, we too can do well
