Nightmare Waiting
Parody of "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx
((Daniel 4:1-37, Ezekiel 21:18-27, Exodus 9:16, John 19:11, Romans 9:16-18))
O, king, you're smart, famous, and brave
Yet I know you'll go insane
He hears my voice prophesy
But he doesn't stop to pray
Advising King Nebuchadnezzar
Well, how can I say this better?
Wherever you go, whatever you do
God's will decides it way before you
Whatever your strength, or how you might think
God's will decides it way before you
You took for granted all the times
That you fought on battlegrounds
I fear disaster might make this clear
But a threat can't scare you now
O, king, you'd see it maybe
If God, He drove you crazy
Wherever you go, whatever you do
God's will decides it way before you
Whatever's at stake, or how the cards break
God's will decides it way before you
I wonder how he can survive with no sense
But in the end He'll find the truth when he repents
"This is the interpretation, Your Majesty, and this is the decree the Most High
has issued against my lord the king: You will be driven away from people and
will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like the ox and be drenched
with the dew of heaven. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge
that the Most High is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and gives them to
anyone he wishes." (Daniel 4:24-25)
O, king, you'll see it plainly
When God restores you sanely
Wherever you go, whatever you do
God's will decides it way before you
Whatever your state or how you chart fate
God's will decides it way before you
Way before you
