Flourishing In The Fire

 
 







 



 
Flourishing In The Fire
 By George Thurlow

In the fury of the devil's rage
As the flames leap higher and higher,
Saints abound with joyous sound
And flourish in the fire.

As evil pervades and our rights do fade
In attempt to snuff out faith,
The Spirit flows and the Wind does blow
And we're blessed with greater Grace.

As the days grow dark, and the time runs short
And we near the final hour,
In the midst of heat...no defeat
Through the Holy Ghost and power.

Though the ungodly reign, who hate the name
Of our Savior Jesus Christ,
We're not ashamed, and will proclaim
Salvation, healing, life!


Daniel 3: 16-18
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.  But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.

Daniel 3:24-27
Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellers, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king. He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire. And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellers, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
