My mama read a story from the bible long ago
About Shadrach, Meshach, and old Abednego
How the wicked king commanded they be thrown into the flame
Because they would not bow and then deny their Father's name
My Mama said the king stood high upon a balcony so tall
When he looked in he was shocked by all the things he saw
Because he thought that he would find them lying dead upon the ground
But instead of three he counted four up walking all around
Then I said Mama, wait a minute, there's one thing that I must know
If three went in and three came out, then where'd that fourth man go
And I never will forget it, Mama danced across the floor
And these are the words I heard her
Say while shouting through the door
She said, he's still in the fire and he's walking in the flame
And he'll be there to help you when you call upon his name
And he can still deliver by His almighty power
While here below it's good to know He's still in the fire
I said, he's still in the fire and He's walking in the flame
And he'll be there to help you when you call upon his name
And he can still deliver by His almighty power
While here below it's good to know he's still in the fire
While here below it's good to know he's still in the fire
Oh now my friend you may be destined to face life's hottest flame
But I'm glad that I can tell you thru the power of His name
Not one flame of fire will touch
You, you'll come thru it and you'll tell
Yesterday, today, forever, God is still alive and well
I said he's still in the fire and He's walking in the flame
And He'll be there to help you when you call upon his name
And he can still deliver by His almighty power
While here below it's good to know He's still in the fire
While here below it's good to know He's still in the fire
