Remember the Rebels
by Dogwood

Album: Out in the Open

Did you hear about the idol
King Nebuchadnezzar made?
And how he gathered all the people
And sent his messengers to say
"When the music starts
Everyone bow to this image made of gold!"

Did you hear about the rebels
Who say they wouldn't bow?
When the three were found a-standing
In the middle of the crowd
The king got mad
And said, "If they don't bow, they're gonna burn
You better build a fire
If they don't bow they're gonna burn!"

So the king turned to the rebels
And said, "What will you choose?"
And they said, "We'll take the fire
Our God can bring us through
And even if we burn
You'll know that gold is not our God"

They were thrown in the fire
But they didn't go in that fire alone
They were delivered
And they didn't come through that fire alone

Did you know an idol
Can be most anything
From a treasured reputation
To a childhood dream
And the fire that burns
Is the pain of giving 'em up?

And did you find yourself standing
Between an idol and a flame?
And the choice of bowing or burning
Is calling on your name
If you choose to burn
You won't come through that fire alone
Remember the rebels
They didn't come through that fire alone

Remember the rebels
They didn't come through that fire alone
You'll be delivered
You won't come through that fire alone
