The Image of Gold
There was a king of old,
who made an image of gold.
He set it up in Babylon,
King Nebuchadnezzar was the one.
So the king set out an approximation,
to all leaders to come for a dedication,
to the image of gold.
And when the show began,
the king sent sent fourth a command,
That when you hear the music play,
all that hear must obey,
and bow down to the image.
But if anyone hears the music sound,
and won't bow down,
I will throw them into the fiery furnace.
So as time went along,
they played their musical song,
and the people of Babylon bowed down.
But the word got around,
there were some to be found,
that would not bow before the golden image.
So when the king heard the news,
he sought just three to accuse,
Shadrach, Meshach,and Abednego.
Soon they stood before the king,
and he ask, just one thing,
"What poor god do you serve,?
for you will get what you deserve".
And they answered ," O" king we know you plan to burn us,
in your fiery furnace.
Because we will not bow to the image of gold.
But our God is great,
and will not hesitate,
to save us from the furnace.
But if He should not decide,
only our ashed will reside,
in the fiery furnace.
So with the furnace fire blazing,
seven times greater the temperature had been raising.
The three were bound and thrown in.
But when the king heard no cry,
he looked in to see the reason why.
And saw four men walking around,
and in amazement of what he'd found,
he said, "weren't the three thrown in their bound"?
But now theirs more,
it looks like four,
and one looks like the son of God.
Then the crowd begin to cringe,
when the three came out and not one hair was singed.
With no red flesh, or smell of smoke,
You servants of the most high God, is what was spoke.
