Story Behind The Song

A sermon at church moved me and this song is the result.

Song Description

3 young men are challenged to forsake the God of Isreal. They survived being burned in a blazing furnace through faith in their God in the face of incredible odds.

Lyrics

8 bar intro
vrs 1
Shadrach, Meshach & A-BED-nego
three young men, living life with ease.
They were called to, bow down and worship
a golden statue, on their knees.
vrs 2
They said no. NO.
We will not bow down.
No. NO.
or bend our knees.
No. NO.
We will not worship,
Another god, Just to please
pre chorus
They did not take, the safe way out.
They did not try, to tame the crowd.
They just held fast, in the Lord
they faced the fire, the angry hoard.
chorus
They had faith (faith)
and power. (and power)
Yes faith. (faith)
and power from the Lord,
they had faith, (faith)
and power. (power)
and His love,
made them more
(intro)
They said to Neb....
vrs 3
God, will help, He'll help us through this
now, we pray, and take your test.
If, we die, we want you all to know ,
we stand, in faith, in Heaven we will rest.
vrs 4
Once they're in, Ol Neb gazed in the fire.
He saw, an angel, amongst the
flames.
they were walking round', talking calmly
not affected, by the blaze.
pre chorus
The king yelled loud, into the
searing furnace.
He called to them, each by name.
Shadrach, Meshach, A-BED-nego
Your God is worthy, He beat the flames.
chorus
you (we) have faith (faith)
and power. (and power)
Yes faith. (faith)
and power from the Lord,

and power. (power)
and His love, (His love)
{first time only}
made you more
{on repeat only}
(makes us more)
