The Fourth Man In The Fire

	  		(intro)  D 

                  D 
Well, the prophet Daniel tells about 
             G 
three men who walked with God, 
                  A 
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 
                            D 
before the wicked king they stood. 

                D 
Now the king commanded them bound and thrown 
              G 
into the fiery coals that day, 
           A 
but the fire was so hot the men were slain 
       A7                              D 
that forced them on their way. 

                         A                                                 D 
They wouldn't bend, they held on to the will of God so we are told, 
                  A                                                                  D 
would not bow, they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold. 
                   A                                                   D 
Would not burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire, 
                        G                             A                            D 
they wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. 

                            D 
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up 
     G 
to witness their awful fate, 
           A 
he began to tremble at what he saw, 
                                               D 
and in astonished tones he spake. 

       D 
Did we not cast three men bound 
    G 
into the midst of the fire, 
       A 
I believe I see four men unhurt, 
                                               D 
unbound and walking' down there. 

             D 
I see Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 
            G 
in the fiery coals they trod, 
            A 
but the form of the fourth man that I see 
    A7                     D 
is like the Son of God. 

                         A                                         D 
They wouldn't bend, held on to the will of God so we are told, 
                  A                                                                  D 
would not bow, they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold. 
                   A                                                   D 
Would not burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire, 
                        G                     A                            D 
they wouldn't bend, wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. 

                         A                                               D 
They wouldn't bow, they held on to the will of God we are told, 
                       A                                                                   D 
they wouldn?t bow, they would not bow their knees  to the idols made of gold. 
                         A                                                   D 
They wouldn?t burn, they were protected by the fourth man in the fire, 
                        G                             A                            D 
they wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn. 

                        G                             A                             D 
They wouldn't bend, they wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.
