Johnny Cash - The Fourth Man In the Fire Lyrics

Lyrics The Fourth Man In the Fire - Johnny Cash



Well in the land of babylon
Old King Nebucchadnezzar was on the throne
And he told his people said build a golden idol out there in the
And tell everybody in the Kingdom that I said "Bow down and worship that golden idol"
Well they built that golden idol but they were three men
Three stiff naked men in the kingdom that wouldn't do it
There were Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
So King Nebucchadnezzer said "Take them, throw them in the fire and burn them up"
So they threw them in the fiery furnace but they didn't get burned up
Because there was a fourth man in the fire
Now the prophet Daniel tells about
Three men who walked with God
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Before the wicked king they stood
And the king commanded them bound and thrown
Into the fiery furnace that day
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain
That forced them on their way
They wouldn't bend
They held on to the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold
They wouldn't burn
They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up
To witness this awful fate
He began to tremble at what he saw
In astonished tones he spake
Did we not cast three men bound
Into the midst of the fire
I believe I see four men unhurt
Unbound and walkin' down there
I see Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
And the fiery coals they trod
But the form of the Fourth Man that I see
Is like the Son of God
They wouldn't bend
They held on to the will of God so we are told
They wouldn't bow
They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold
They wouldn't burn
They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn
They wouldn't bow
They held on to the will of God so we are told
They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold
They wouldn't burn
They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn
