This song was inspired the story of the three Hebrew children from the book of Daniel and their run in with a fiery furnace.

Shadrach...Meshach,...Abednego Three Hebrew children from long ago Taken from their country and living in a foreign land Where the king decreed that all would bow But these boys had taken a vow To the Lord of heaven ...the God of Abraham They would not bow...they would not burn They would not bend and they would not turn...from Him Now those Hebrew boys were brave and bold They wouldn’t worship that image of gold So they bound them up and threw them in a fiery pit But when the king looked down from his lofty heights A strange vision filled his sight There were four men walkin’ unbound in the midst of it They would not bow...they would not burn They would not bend and they would not turn...and that was it Yeah...that was it! Nebuchadnezzar declared that day... that the God of Abraham Would be worshipped there in Babylon... praised throughout the land Shadrach...Meshach...Abednego Ruled in that kingdom long ago Princes of the province...rulers in a foreign land Cause they would not bow...they would not burn They would not bend and they would not turn...for the man! There maybe a fiery furnace waiting down the road There maybe a trial that comes to us ...that bares a heavy load But we don’t have bow or burn or bend along the way Cause the fourth man in the fire’s still in that fire today! Shadrach...Mechach...Abednego Taught all a lesson that we need to know We can stand in the midst of the fire and never quit They would not bow...they would not burn They would not bend and they would not turn...and that was it Yeah...that was it! They would not bow...they would not burn They would not bend and they would not turn...that was it Yeah...that was it!
