Lyrics Shadrack - Brook Benton

(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Now, there were three children from the land of Israel
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Oh, they took a little trip to the land of Babylon
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
And old Nebuchadnezzar was the king of Babylon
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
So they took a lot of gold and made them an idol
(Shadrach, 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
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
But the children of Israel would not bow down
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
We ain't gon' bow to no golden idol
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Oh, you couldn't fool the children with the golden idol
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
So the king cast the children in the fiery furnace
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
He heaped on coal and red-hot brimstone
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Good, good for the city
Even made it seven times hotter than it oughta be
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Now, they burned up the soldiers that the king had put there
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Oh, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
Mm-hmm, then the good Lord called an angel
Gave him a couple wings
He said, "Go down there through the middle of the furnace"
And began to coolin' the flames
And those children got so happy
They went struttin' right through the fire
And just laughing and talking 'bout the power of the gospel
(Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego)
Oh, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego
