Here is a story from the Good Book we know
A story 'bout a miracle that happened long ago
We hope that you'll take courage when temptation you
meet
There's somebody watchin' you who's strong when you're
weak.
Chorus:
They wouldn't bend
They held onto the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol 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
Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego before the wicked king
they stood
And the King commanded them bound and thrown
In the firey furnace that day.
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain
That forced them on their way.
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, and in astonished
tones he spake.
Did we not cast three men bound into the midst a' that
fire?
For lo, I see four men unhurt, unbound and walkin' down
there
There's Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego in the firey
coals they trod
And the form of the fourth man that I see is like the
Son of God.
Did we not cast three men bound into the midst a' that
fire?
For lo, I see four men unhurt, unbound and walkin' down
there
There's Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego in the firey
coals they trod
And the form of the fourth man that I see is like the
Son of God.
Chorus:
They wouldn't bend
They held onto the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol 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.
Chorus:
They wouldn't bend
They held onto the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol 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.
Chorus:
They wouldn't bend
They held onto the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol 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...
