Dancing Through the Fire

They were just three young Jewish boys who knew their God In so knowing all of His Joys the king thought them to be odd He said "you bow to me" or I will throw all of you into the fire Your God, we shall see if He will save you when things get dire All answering the same way as one by one they did respond To only God will I pray despite that crown you have donned As the great fire raged about that many guards were killed The three still having no doubt for it was in what He willed Into the fire the three went and that should be the end there Yet as over the king bent, they were dancing without a care But now there was four as he could not believe his own eyes For now the king wasn't so sure so caught up in his own lies The king called them back as the fire burned only the ropes A God not lacking and that is where they placed their hopes So when that fire does appear you will know all of His Joys Jesus said to not have fear, but dance, just like those boys king Nebuchadnezzar Boys Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego Daniel 3:9-28
