[Chorus:]
|
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 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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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
|
Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt
|
Unbound and walkin' down there;
|
|
There's 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
|
