I've Got the Key to the Kingdom Songtext
von Washington Phillips

I got the key to the kingdom
And the devil can′t do me no harm
I got the key to the kingdom
And the devil can't do me no harm

Well, you take old prophet Daniel
They put him in the lion′s den
On account of the hundred and twenty princes
All being so full of sin

Well, they put old Daniel in the lion's den
And he stayed there all night long
On account of the hundred and twenty princes
And them being so full of sin

Daniel had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn't do him no harm
Had the key to the kingdom

Well, they put old Daniel in the lion′s den
And he stayed there all night long
And Darius he couldn′t sleep that night
'Cause he knowed they treated Daniel wrong


But Daniel had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn′t do him no harm
Had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn't do him no harm

Oh, Darius he come to the lion′s den
And he called Daniel good and stout
And Daniel got up like a child of God
And then come walkin' out

Well, Daniel had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn′t do him no harm
Had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn't do him no harm

Well, the princes came down that morning
And they found old Daniel gone
And the king he put 'em in the lion′s den
And the lion consumed their bones

He had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn′t do him no harm
He had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn't do him no harm


Oh, Christ is the Key to the Kingdom
Faith unlocks the door
If you every been truly converted
You′ll make it into Heaven's shore

I got the key to the kingdom
And the devil can′t do me no harm
I got the key to the kingdom
And the devil can't do me no harm

Well, Daniel was one of God′s prophets
And they knew old Daniel would pray
Well, if they didn't want him over there
They wanted him out of the way

But Daniel had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn't do him no harm
He had the key to the kingdom
And the devil couldn′t do him no harm
