Shadrack (Live)

The story of Shadrack, Meshach, and Abednego

There was three children from the land of Israel

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

They took a little trip to the land of Babylon

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

He took a lot of gold, and made an idol

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



And he told everybody "when you hear the music of the trombone"

And he told everybody "when you hear the music of the clarinet"

And he told everybody "when you hear the music of the horn

You must fall down and worship the idol"

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



But the children of Israel would not bow down

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

I said, you couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



So the king put the children in the fiery furnace

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Heaped on coals and red-hot brimstone

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Eleven times hotter, hotter than it ought to be

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Burned up the soldiers that the king had put there

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



But the Lord sent an angel with the snow-white wings

Down in the middle of the furnace

Talkin' to the children 'bout the power of the Gospel

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



Well, they couldn't burn a hair on the head of

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' 'round

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego



Old Nebudchanezzer called, "hey there!"

When he saw the power of the Lord

And they had a regal time in the house of Babylon

Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego

Oh, Abednego
