Shadrach, Meschach and Abed-Nego

THREE MEN IN THE BIBLE WHOSE NAMES YOU OUGHT TO KNOW
THEY ARE SHADRACH MESCHACH AND ABED-NEGO
THESE YOUNG MEN WERE FAITHFUL AS YOU'RE ABOUT TO LEARN
AND GOD WAS FAITHFUL TO THEM AND HE WOULD LET THEM BURN
THEY WERE TESTED BY FIRE AND FOUND TO BE TRUE
I TELL YOU THE TRUTH IT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU
WILL YOU REMAIN FAITHFUL? WILL YOU REMAIN TRUE?
TO JESUS YOUR SAVIOUR WHO'S PRAYING FOR YOU
WILL YOU RUN OFF LIKE JONAH? OR LISTEN RIGHT NOW?
LIKE IT OR NOT HE WILL CHANGE YOU SOMEHOW
SOMEHOW HE'LL BEND YOU AND BRING YOU AROUND
PREPARE YOU TO STAND UP IN ENEMY GROUND
TO RECLAIM IT FOR HIM WITH HIS TRUTH AS YOUR SWORD
FOR ALL THAT IS IN IT THE EARTH IS THE LORDS
BACK TO THE STORY A WICKED KING CAME
NEBUCHADNEZZER THAT WAS HIS NAME
THE LORD GAVE HIS CITY TO WICKED MENS HANDS
BUT WAIT JUST A WHILE IT WAS PART OF HIS PLAN
NOW THIS KING COMMANDED HIS SERVANT TO BRING
CHILDREN OF WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING
AMONG THE CHILDREN WERE HANANIAH
MISHAEL AND AZARIAH
THEIR NAMES WERE CHANGED AND IT WAS SO
TO SHADRACH MESCHACH AND ABED-NEGO
THEN THE KING DID COMMAND THAT AN IMAGE BE MADE
THAT ALL WERE TO WORSHIP WHEN MUSIC WAS PLAYED
HE COMMANDED THAT EVERYONE FELL TO THEIR KNEES
AND WORSHIP THE IDOL THE WAY THAT HE PLEASED
"I WILL CAST IN A FURNACE WHO DISOBEYS ME"
AND EVERYONE BOWED DOWN APART FROM THE THREE
IF YOU HAVE'NT SUSSED OUT BY NOW WHO? YOU SHOULD KNOW
THEY WERE SHADRACH MESCHACH AND ABED-NEGO
THE KING HE FLEW INTO A TERRIBLE RAGE
THINGS THAT YOU JUST COULD'NT PRINT ON THIS PAGE
HE SAID "BRING ME THESE MEN I WOULD MUCH LIKE TO CHAT"
"WO'NT BOW DOWN?" "WO'NT THEY?" "WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT"

THE THREE WERE BROUGHT IN THE KING HAD A GO
"WILL YOU BOW DOWN AND WORSHIP MY IDOL?" "WELL?" "NO"
"WE'LL WORSHIP NO OTHER GOD SO WE REFUSE"
"HE CAN DELIVER WE'VE NOTHING TO LOSE"
"IF WE BURN IN THE FIRE THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO"
"WHATEVER THE CASE WE WILL NEVER SERVE YOU"
"TURN UP THE FURNACE THEN SEVEN TIMES HIGHER"
THEY WERE LED FROM THE KING AND CAST INTO THE FIRE
NOW THE KING TOOK A LOOK IN THE FIRE AND SAW
NOT THREE MEN INSIDE IT BUT NOW THERE WERE FOUR
THE FORTH LIKE THE SON OF GOD WAS THERE INSIDE
"COME OUT OF THE FIRE" "COME TO ME" HE CRIED

THREE CAME FORTH NOT A SINGLE HAIR BURNT
NOR SMELT OF THE FIRE THE LESSON WAS LEARNT
THE KING SAID "BLESSED BE" "LET EVERYONE KNOW
THE GOD OF SHADRACH MESCHACH AND ABED-NEGO
AND I TELL YOU TODAY THAT YOU CANNOT AFFORD
TO BE WORSHIPPING ANYONE ELSE BUT THE LORD

LIFE IS A TESTING GROUND IT IS A FIRE

YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN IS CALLING YOU HIGHER
