The Fourth Man In The Fire

(intro)  D

            D
Well, the prophet Daniel tells about
       G
three men who walked with God,
          A
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,
                 D
before the wicked king they stood.

         D
Now the king commanded them bound and thrown
          G
into the fiery coals that day,
       A
but the fire was so hot the men were slain
     A7                   D
that forced them on their way.

               A                                 D
They wouldn't bend, they held on to the will of God so we are told,
           A                                          D
would not bow, they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold.
           A                                 D
Would not burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire,
               G                   A                  D
they wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.

                D
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up
   G
to witness their awful fate,
      A
he began to tremble at what he saw,
                             D
and in astonished tones he spake.

    D
Did we not cast three men bound
   G
into the midst of the fire,
     A
I believe I see four men unhurt,
                           D
unbound and walking' down there.

        D
I see Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,
         G
in the fiery coals they trod,
        A
but the form of the fourth man that I see
    A7              D
is like the Son of God.

               A                            D
They wouldn't bend, held on to the will of God so we are told,
           A                                          D
would not bow, they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold.
           A                                 D
Would not burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire,
               G              A                  D
they wouldn't bend, wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.

               A                                D
They wouldn't bow, they held on to the will of God we are told,
               A                                          D
they wouldn't bow, they would not bow their knees  to the idols made of gold.
               A                                 D
They wouldn't burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire,
               G                   A                  D
they wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.

              G                   A                   D
They wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.
