The Statler Brothers - The fourth man

^GHere ^D7is a story from the ^GGood Book we know A ^D7story bout a miracle that ^Ghappened long ago We ^D7hope that you'll take courage when ^Gtemptation you meet There's ^Csomebody ^Gwatching you who's ^Cstrong when you're ^Gweak

They wouldn't ^D7bend They held onto the will of ^GGod so we are told They wouldn't ^D7bow They would not bow their knees to the ^Gidol made of gold They wouldn't ^D7burn They were protected by the ^Gfourth man in the fire They wouldn't ^Cbend they wouldn't ^D7bow they wouldn't ^Gburn

Three ^Cmen who walked with God Shadrack ^D7Meshack and Abednego Before the wicked ^Gking they stood

Bound and thrown in the ^Cfiery furnace that day But the ^D7fire was so hot that the men were slain That forced them on their ^Gway

And the King rose up to ^Cwitness this awful fate He ^D7began to tremble at what he saw And in astonished tones he ^Gspake

Did we not cast three men bound ^Cinto the midst that fire For lo I ^D7see four men unhurt unbound and walking down ^Gthere There's Shadrack Meshack and Abednego in the ^Cfiery coals they trod And the ^D7form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of ^GGod

They wouldn't ^D7bend They held onto the will of ^GGod so we are told They wouldn't ^D7bow They would not bow their knees to the ^Gidol made of gold They wouldn't ^D7burn They were protected by the ^Gfourth man in the fire They wouldn't ^Cbend they wouldn't ^D7bow they wouldn't ^Gburn

They wouldn't ^D7bend They held onto the will of ^GGod so we are told They wouldn't ^D7bow They would not bow their knees to the ^Gidol made of gold They wouldn't ^D7burn They were protected by the ^Gfourth man in the fire They wouldn't ^Cbend they wouldn't ^D7bow they wouldn't ^Gburn

They wouldn't ^D7bend They held onto the will of ^GGod so we are told They wouldn't ^D7bow They would not bow their knees to the ^Gidol made of gold They wouldn't ^D7burn They were protected by the ^Gfourth man in the fire They wouldn't ^Cbend they wouldn't ^D7bow they wouldn't ^Gburn ^{B G}
