They wouldn't bend
(They held on to the will of God so we are told)
They wouldn't bow
(They would not bow their knees to idols made of gold)
They wouldn't burn
(They were protected by)
The fourth man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow
They wouldn't burn

Now the prophet Daniel
Tells about three men who walked with God
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo
Before the wicked king they stood
And the king commanded them bound
And thrown into the fiery furnace that day
But the fire was so hot
That the men were slain
That forced them on their way

They wouldn't bend
(They held on to the will of God so we are told)
They wouldn't bow
(They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold)
They wouldn't burn
(They were protected by)
The fourth man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow
They wouldn't burn. 

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
In astonished tones he spake
'Did we not cast three men bound
Into the midst of the fire?
Well, lo, I see four men
Unhurt, unbound and walkin' down there
There's Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo
In the fiery coals they trod
But the form of the fourth man that I see
Is like the Son of God'

They wouldn't bend
(They held on to the will of God so we are told.)
They wouldn't bow
(They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold.)
They wouldn't burn
(They were protected by)
The fourth man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow
They wouldn't burn. 

(They wouldn't bend)
They held on to the will of God so we are told
(They wouldn't bow)
They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold
(They wouldn't burn)
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
They wouldn't bend
They wouldn't bow
They wouldn't burn
