[Intro]
A   D    G
[Verse 1]
GHere D7is a story from the GGood Book we know
A D7story bout a miracle that Ghappened long ago
We D7hope that you'll take courage when Gtemptation you meet
There's Csomebody Gwatching you who's Cstrong when you're Gweak
[Chorus]
They wouldn't D7bend
They held onto the will of GGod so we are told
They wouldn't D7bow
They would not bow their knees to the Gidol made of gold
They wouldn't D7burn
They were protected by the Gfourth man in the fire
They wouldn't Cbend they wouldn't D7bow they wouldn't Gburn
[Verse 2]
Now the prophet Daniel tells about
Three Cmen who walked with God
Shadrack D7Meshack and Abednego
Before the wicked Gking they stood
[Verse 3]
And the King commanded them
Bound and thrown in the Cfiery furnace that day
But the D7fire was so hot that the men were slain
That forced them on their Gway
[Verse 4]
Now when the three were cast in
And the King rose up to Cwitness this awful fate
He D7began to tremble at what he saw
And in astonished tones he Gspake
[Bridge]
Did we not cast three men bound Cinto the midst that fire
For lo I D7see four men unhurt unbound and walking down Gthere
There's Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the Cfiery coals they trod
And the D7form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of GGod
[Chorus]
They wouldn't D7bend
They held onto the will of GGod so we are told
They wouldn't D7bow
They would not bow their knees to the Gidol made of gold
They wouldn't D7burn
They were protected by the Gfourth man in the fire
They wouldn't Cbend they wouldn't D7bow they wouldn't Gburn
[Chorus]
They wouldn't D7bend
They held onto the will of GGod so we are told
They wouldn't D7bow
They would not bow their knees to the Gidol made of gold
They wouldn't D7burn
They were protected by the Gfourth man in the fire
They wouldn't Cbend they wouldn't D7bow they wouldn't Gburn
[Chorus]
They wouldn't D7bend
They held onto the will of GGod so we are told
They wouldn't D7bow
They would not bow their knees to the Gidol made of gold
They wouldn't D7burn
They were protected by the Gfourth man in the fire
They wouldn't Cbend they wouldn't D7bow they wouldn't GburnB  G

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]

They wouldn't bend

They held onto the will of God so we are told

They wouldn't bow

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

They wouldn't burn

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

Three men who walked with God

Shadrack Meshack and Abednego

Before the wicked king they stood

[Verse 3]

And the King commanded them

Bound and thrown in the fiery furnace that day

But the fire was so hot that the men were slain

That forced them on their way

[Verse 4]

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

And in astonished tones he spake

[Bridge]

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

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]

They wouldn't bend

They held onto the will of God so we are told

They wouldn't bow

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

They wouldn't burn

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

They held onto the will of God so we are told

They wouldn't bow

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

They wouldn't burn

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

They held onto the will of God so we are told

They wouldn't bow

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

They wouldn't burn

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
