The Statler Brothers - Fourth Man lyrics

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 watching you Who's strong when you're weak 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 knee 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 Danial tells about Three men who walked with God Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego Before the wicked king they stood And the king demanded them Bound and thrown In the firey furnace that day But the fire was so hot That the men were slain Who forced them on their way Now when the few were thrown 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 of that fire Well though I see four men unhurt Unbound and walking down there There's Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego An' the fiery coals they trod And the form of the fourth man That I see is like the Son of God 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 knee 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 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 knee 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 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 knee 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
