Facing The Fiery Furnace

Three Hebrew men
Courageous guys
Though young in years
Were still very wise

Standing before
An idol of Gold
Emotions built up
To levels untold

Wondering what
Would happen next
The outcome would be
Anyone’s guess

Trusting their God
To help them out
With Tremendous faith
They had no doubt

Whether God would
Save them or not
They would not give in
It’s what they were taught

The king commanded
All to bow down
Those ones who refused
Would be found out

A fire was waiting
As punishment
Those who wouldn’t bow
Would face his judgement

Shadrach, Meshak,
And Abednego
Feared their God more
They would not bow low

This angered the king
He told his strong men
Heat the fire seven times
Then throw them in

A strange thing happened
That was a surprise
His strong men were those
Who lost their lives

When into the furnace
The king next looked
The three Hebrew men
Had not been cooked

Another had joined them
An Angel of God
Sent from heaven
You may think that odd

Walking around
In the intense flames
They were not singed
All their hairs remained

Jehovah had seen
These men with their faith
Preserving their lives
His power displayed

What will you do
When you face the flames
Will you stand firm
For Jehovah’s name

Will you refuse
To ever bow down
To those rulers who
Are taunting him now

Soon Gog of Magog
Will turn on us
Touching God’s eye
We’ll be their focus

He’ll send his angels
To help us out
Giving us strength
Of this there’s no doubt

We must trust in him
To rescue us
From the flames of
That Fiery furnace
