Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Written from Daniel 3 by Becca Walcher

Chorus:

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego

Into the fiery furnace you go!

Verse 1:

Well, King Nebuchadnezzar said,

“Bow down to my idol!” 

But Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said,

 “No!  It’s God alone whom we serve.”

Chorus

Verse 2:

Well, King Nebuchadnezzar said,

“Heat up the fire and throw them in!

But they got up and walked around

 with one who looked like the Son of God.

Chorus

Verse 3:

“Oh,” King Nebuchadnezzar said,

“Come on out of there.”

And they walked out and weren’t even burned

because God had taken care of them.

Song(s)

Rahab Song,*

Joshua 2:1-21; 6:25

(Tune:  This Old Man)

Two Spies came

 to Jericho.

Soldiers looked both high and low.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

Two spies hid

In the straw.

Soldiers looked and never saw.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of scarlet red,

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

Two spies left.

They climbed down.

Out the window, out of town.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

God’s people came

To the wall.

Rahab’s family stayed safe in the fall.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

*I found this song in my files, but I don’t know the origin of this song. Also, I changed the last line of the chorus from "Rahab showed how brave she was" to "Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God."
