Dancing In the Fire
by Old Time Gospel Hour Quartet

Album: The Return

Ninety feet high and nine feet wide
The idol was purest gold
King Nebuchadnezzar gave the decree
To the Israelites of old
"The music will play
And if you do as I say
You will bow as I desire
But there's a furnace that's hot
And if you bow not
You'll be thrown in the fire"

Many folks bowed and praised out loud
The lifeless piece of art
But Shadrach, Meshach and Abednago
Would not betray their heart
They just couldn't bend
To the idols of men
For they knew their God still reigned
So, they all stood their ground
And the king had them bound
And threw them into the flames

Now soldiers were hired to stoke the fire
To seven times the heat
The king would never tolerate
Rebellion from these three
But he was the one
Who was so overcome
When he looked in the furnace door
He could suddenly see
That what had started as three
Had now turned into four

And they were shouting and praising
And worshipping the King
And they were smiling and clapping
They didn't feel a thing

And they were dancing in the fire
Set free from the chains
Dancing in the fire
They were feeling no pain
They were singing like a Heavenly choir
Even when the flames
Crept higher and higher
Dancing in the fire
And never got burned
Dancing in the fire
That old king surely learned
Serving God was their only desire
They were dancing in the fire

Dancing in the fire
Set free from the chains
Dancing in the fire
They were feeling no pain
Singing like a Heavenly choir
Even when the flames
Crept higher and higher
Dancing in the fire
And they never got burned
Dancing in the fire
That old king surely learned
Serving God was their only desire
They were dancing in the fire
Serving God was their only desire
They were dancing in the fire
