The Fourth Man In the Fire

Well in the land of babylon Old King Nebucchadnezzar was on the throne And he told his people said build a golden idol out there in the And tell everybody in the Kingdom that I said "Bow down and worship that golden idol" Well they built that golden idol but they were three men Three stiff naked men in the kingdom that wouldn't do it There were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego So King Nebucchadnezzer said "Take them, throw them in the fire and burn them up" So they threw them in the fiery furnace but they didn't get burned up Because there was a fourth man in the fire Now the prophet Daniel tells about Three men who walked with God Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Before the wicked king they stood And the king commanded them bound and thrown Into the fiery furnace that day But the fire was so hot that the men were slain That forced them on their way They wouldn't bend They held on to the will of God so we are told They wouldn't bow They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold They wouldn't burn They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up To witness this awful fate He began to tremble at what he saw In astonished tones he spake Did we not cast three men bound Into the midst of the fire I believe I see four men unhurt Unbound and walkin' down there I see Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego And the fiery coals they trod But the form of the Fourth Man that I see Is like the Son of God They wouldn't bend They held on to the will of God so we are told They wouldn't bow They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold They wouldn't burn They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn They wouldn't bow They held on to the will of God so we are told They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold They wouldn't burn They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn They wouldn't bend They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn
