The Fourth Man

	  		Refrain: 
E They wouldn't B7 bend 
They held on to the will of E God so we are told 
They wouldn't B7 bow 
They would not bow their knees to E Idols made of gold 
They wouldn't B7 burn 
They were protected by the E Fourth Man in the fire 
They wouldn't A bend 
They wouldn't B7 bow, they wouldn't E burn. 
 
E Now the prophet Daniel tells about 
Three A men who walked with God 
B7 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego 
Before the wicked king they E stood 
And the king commanded them bound and thrown 
Into the A fiery furnace that day 
But the B7 fire was so hot that the men were slain 
That forced them on their E way. 
 
Refrain: 
 
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 
Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt 
Unbound and walkin' down there; 
 
There's 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;
