When God Comes Through

When Shadrack and Abednago
With Meshak faced the flame,
They purposed they would do what’s right
And praise God’s holy Name.

They bore the brunt of tyrant rage,
Were roughly seized and bound –
It wasn’t till they reached the fire
That true relief was found.

Within the fire they weren’t alone
For Jesus met them there,
And not a single thread was singed –
No smoke-whiff in their hair.

That furnace was a holy place
Of triumph and success,
Where God came through and showed His love
Of humble faithfulness.

You may not sense how God will work
Or feel His presence near
Until you reach the furnace blaze
Where Jesus will appear.
