There was three children from the land of Israel
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
They took a little trip to the land of Babylon
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
He took a lot of gold, and made an idol
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
And he told everybody ¡°when you hear the music of the trombone
|
And he told everybody ¡°when you hear the music of the clarinet
|
And he told everybody ¡°when you hear the music of the horn
|
You must fall down and worship the idol!
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
But the children of Israel would not bow down!
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol!
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
I said you couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol!
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
So the king put the children in the fiery furnace
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Eleven times hotter, hotter than it oughtta be!
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
But the Lord sent an angel with the snow-white wings
|
Down in the middle of the furnace
|
Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
Well they couldn't burn a hair on the head of
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
Laughin¡¯ and talkin' while the fire jumpin¡¯ round
|
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!
|
|
Old Nebudchanezzer called "hey there!
|
When he saw the power of the Lord
|
And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon
|
Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!
|
Oh, Abednego!!
