[Intro] A D G [Verse 1]
G    D7                  G
Here is a story from the Good Book we know

  D7                        G
A story bout a miracle that happened long ago

   D7                                 G
We hope that you'll take courage when temptation you meet

        C        G                  C                  G
There's somebody watching you who's strong when you're weak
[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend

                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told

              D7
They wouldn't bow

                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold

              D7
They wouldn't burn

                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire

              C                  D7                G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn
[Verse 2] Now the prophet Daniel tells about
      C
Three men who walked with God

         D7
Shadrack Meshack and Abednego

                  G
Before the wicked king they stood
[Verse 3] And the King commanded them
                        C
Bound and thrown in the fiery furnace that day

        D7
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain

                          G
That forced them on their way
[Verse 4] Now when the three were cast in
                        C
And the King rose up to witness this awful fate

   D7
He began to tremble at what he saw

                           G
And in astonished tones he spake
[Bridge]
                                C
Did we not cast three men bound into the midst that fire

         D7                                           G
For lo I see four men unhurt unbound and walking down there

                                             C
There's Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the fiery coals they trod

        D7                                                   G
And the form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of God
[Chorus]
              D7
They wouldn't bend

                           G
They held onto the will of God so we are told

              D7

They were protected by the fourth man in the fire

              C                  D7                G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn
[Chorus]

They wouldn't bend

                           G

They wouldn't bow

                                      G
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold

              D7

                           G
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire

              C                  D7                G       B     G
They wouldn't bend they wouldn't bow they wouldn't burn
