The Statler Brothers - The Fourth Man lyrics

The Fourth Man (Arthur Smith) 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...
