The Fourth Man In the Fire

No smoke in my lungs, tied at the wrist 
We were the rebels, we never slipped 
We stood strong, we ain't flinched a bit 
Boldness and strength, yah, we got it quick

Heat rising, the crowd went still 
Into the fire, not bowing to a king's will 
We ain't holy, but we live clean 
We stand for what God's saints have seen

Never thought it was over, flames in an oven sound 
There was a Fourth Man walking around 
He didn't speak, but we met in God's space 
A Fourth Man glowing in the hottest place

I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 

I ain’t perfect — nah, I’m that third 
Didn’t deserve it, still got the Word
 Ash on my face, and peace on my chest 
He ain’t show late, He beat the test

I saw gold where the chains had been 
Fire didn’t hurt, it freed my sin 
Three were bold, we ain't scared 
Still He stood beside us there

You don’t have to be perfect to be protected 
You don’t have to be clean to be selected 
He steps in when the world rejects it 
That’s love, unedited, unexpected

I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire 

Third man, flawed man, and we still got saved 
In the blaze, we all saw His face 
We ain't heroes, we just the proof 
He steps in with nothing to prove

So here’s the story 
How we got thrown in 
the burning fire

King said bow when the music play
We say “Nah, we don't worship that way”

We Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego 
Worship our God, not yours, so throw

Bold like a lion — “We know what’s true” 
If saved or not, we don’t trade truth

Your king’s charade? We ain't in line 
So the fire got lit — turned up seven times

Soldiers dropped dead tryna throw us in 
But inside that heat was a different spin

Fourth in the flame, walking side by side 
The chains fell off, and we stayed alive

They amazed when the math got changed 
The Fourth Man got all the fame

Didn’t smell like smoke, that you can bet 
Went from three to four the moment we met
 The Fourth Man in the fire 
The Fourth Man in the fire

I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire 
Didn’t burn, didn’t break, went higher 
We didn’t quake, we didn't shake and bake 
I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire
 I met the Fourth Man in the fire
