Belshazzar the king of Babylon
Made a feast in the palace hall
He trembled when he saw the hand of a man
As it wrote upon the wall
Then all the king's wise men
Unto the king were called
But they couldn't read or understand
The handwriting on the wall
Then old Daniel was brought before the king
To see what was written there
He said "King, that's my Father's writing
I'd know it anywhere"
In the balance you're weighed and found wanting
And your kingdom soon will fall
That's what you'd see if you could read
The handwriting on the wall
This old earth someday will crumble
And heaven will melt away
But there's a book, there's a book, there's a Holy book
That will never pass away
And if your world looks safe all around you
It seems it'll never fall
You better look at the book and you better read
The handwriting on the wall
Though some may say that it's hard to read
Or hard to understand
That book has been my refuge
My rock in a weary land
And no one can improve it
And no other book can compare
You see that's my Father's writing
I'd know it anywhere
This old earth someday will crumble
And heaven will melt away
But there's a book, there's a book, there's a Holy book
That will never pass away
And if your world looks safe all around you
It seems it'll never fall
You better look at the book and you better read
The handwriting on the wall
If your world looks safe all around you
It seems it'll never fall
You better look at the book and you better read
The handwriting on the wall
