The Burning Fiery Furnace

     Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego

         Into the Burning Fiery Furnace it was their turn to go.

     Preparation should be made for what lies ahead

         The time is here to wake up our sleeping head.


     The king’s meat is likened to the New World Order

         So turn on your switch and step on your starter.

     The Burning Fiery Furnace is likened to trials and tests.

         Depend on the Lord and be like baby chicks in His nest.


     The Burning Fiery Furnace was made seven times hot

         We best give the Lord everything we’ve got.

     Because of the furnace being exceedingly hot

         The flame slew the men who took part in the king’s plot.


     When the king saw a fourth man walking in the flame

         He figured he was playing the wrong game.

     When he found out the Lord was real

         He quickly decided to decree a new deal.


     He promoted Shadrach, Meshack and Abednego

         Because into the Burning Fiery Furnace they chose to go.

     Why stoop so low as to eat the king’s meat

         When it is the Lord that has the best treat?


     And to the Burning Fiery Furnace down below

         It’s coming Satan and his followers turn to go.

     We can hear them scream, shout and hiss

         As they land in the Burning Fiery Furnace.
