In Babylon they never knew
They never thought defeat could come so soon
From Media-Persian troops
The prophet Daniel prophesied
That final night and history finds him true
And this uprising grew
In Iran – Iran so far away
God has plans that man cannot escape
They couldn't get away
From God appeared a hovering hand
It seemed to write divine inspired clues
A sign of final doom
The crowd was moved with fear until
The horrors of reality ensued
And warriors broke through
From Iran – Iran so far away
God has plans that man cannot escape
They couldn't get away
See now the hand of God in fate
You know it's His that's steering what men do
His Spirit summons you
Read now in Daniel 5 again
And know that in the deep of night He moved
Through Media-Persian troops
From Iran – Iran so far away
God has plans that man cannot escape
From Iran – Iran so far away
God has plans but Romans 8:28
Daniel 5:5
Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the
wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it
wrote.
