(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Now there were three children from the land of Israel |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Ah, they took a little trip to the land of Babylon |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
And ol' Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
So they took a lot of gold, and made 'em an idol |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
And they told everybody 'when you hear the music of the clarinet,' |
|
They told everybody 'when you hear the music of the flute,' |
|
'Now listen, children, when you hear the music of the horn,' |
|
'Ah, you gotta bow down and worship the idol!' |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down! |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
'We ain't goin' to bow to no golden idol!' |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
No, you couldn't fool the children with the golden idol! |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
So the king cast the children in the fiery furnace |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
He heaped on coal and red-hot brimstone, the Good Book say |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Even made it seven times hotter than it oughtta be! |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Now they burned up the soldiers that the king had put there |
|
(Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego! |
|
Um hmm, then the Good Lord called an angel, |
|
Gave him a couple of wings. |
|
He said 'go down there through the middle of the furnace |
|
and begin to coolin' the flames.' |
|
And those children got so happy, |
|
they went struttin' right through the fire. |
|
And this lot they had them talkin' about the power of the gospel. |
|
(Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!) |
|
Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!!! |
