[Intro]
B E A
[Verse 1]
A E7 A
Here is a story from the Good Book we know
E7 A
A story bout a miracle that happened long ago
E7 A
We hope that you’ll take courage when temptation you meet
D A D A
There’s somebody watching you who’s strong when you’re weak
[Chorus]
E7
They wouldn’t bend
A
They held onto the will of God so we are told
E7
They wouldn’t bow
A
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
E7
They wouldn’t burn
A
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
D E7 A
They wouldn’t bend they wouldn’t bow they wouldn’t burn
[Verse 2]
Now the prophet Daniel tells about
D
Three men who walked with God
E7
Shadrack Meshack and Abednego
A
Before the wicked king they stood
[Verse 3]
And the King commanded them
D
Bound and thrown in the fiery furnace that day
E7
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain
A
That forced them on their way
[Verse 4]
Now when the three were cast in
D
And the King rose up to witness this awful fate
E7
He began to tremble at what he saw
A
And in astonished tones he spake
[Bridge]
D
Did we not cast three men bound into the midst that fire
E7 A
For lo I see four men unhurt unbound and walking down there
D
There’s Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the fiery coals they trod
E7 A
And the form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of God
[Chorus]
E7
They wouldn’t bend
A
They held onto the will of God so we are told
E7
They wouldn’t bow
