Shadrack Lyrics
The story of Shadrack Meshach and Abednego
There was three children from the land of Israel
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
They took a little trip to the land of Babylon
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Nebudchanezzer was the king of Babylon
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
He took a lot of gold and made an idol
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Oh
And he told everybody when you hear
The music of the trombone
And he told everybody when you
Hear the music of the clarinet
And he told everybody when you
Hear the music of the horn
You must fall down and worship the idol
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
But the children of Israel would not bow down
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
I said you couldn't fool 'em with a golden idol
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
So the king put the children in the fiery furnace
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Heaped on coals and red hot brimstone
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Eleven times hotter hotter than it oughtta be
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Burned up the soldiers
That the king had put there
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
But the Lord sent an angel
With the snow white wings
Down in the middle of the furnace
Talkin' to the children 'bout
The power of the Gospel
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Well they couldn't burn a hair on the head of
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Laughin' and talkin' while the fire jumpin' round
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Old Nebudchanezzer called hey there
When he saw the power of the Lord
And they had a regal time
In the house of Babylon
Shadrack Meshach Abednego
Oh Abednego
