Brook Benton - Shadrack Lyrics
Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Now there were three children from the land of IsrealShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Ah they took a little trip to the land of BabylonShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!And ol Nebudchanezzer was the king of BabylonShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!So they took a lot of gold, and made em an idolShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!And they told everybody when you hear the music of the clarinet,They told everybody when you hear the music of the flute,Now listen, children, when you hear the music of the horn,Oh, you gotta bow down and worship the idol!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Ah, but the children of Israel would not bow down!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!We aint going to bow to no golden idol!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!No, you couldnt fool the children with the golden idol!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!So the king cast the children in the fiery furnaceShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!He heaped on coal and red-hot brimstone you couldn't but seeShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Even made it seven times hotter than it oughtta be!Shadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Now they burned up the soldiers that the king had put thereShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!Um hmm, then the Good Lord called an angel,Gave him a couple of wings.He said go down there through the middle of the furnaceAnd began to coolin' the flames.And those children got so happy,they went struttin right through the fire.And this lot got to talkin' bout the power of gospelShadrack, Meshach, Abednego!Oh, Shadrack! Meshach, Abednego!!!
