Johnny Cash - The Fourth Man in the Fire lyrics
[Johnny Cash - The Fourth Man in the Fire lyrics]
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
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
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
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
