Neb
said, “Hey, won’t you strengthen my hand
- Be
the “mods and the rockers” and join my band
- You
can let your hair down and have a fling
- Let
your mind run wild and do your thing!”
-
- So
the band was formed and all went well
- But
little did they know it was the road to hell
- For
the king demanded that they bow the knee
- To
the sound of music, and idolatry.
-
- There
stood the statue, big and fat
- It
towered above the people like a monstrous rat!
- “Now
come and worship to the sound of my band”
- So
they came in droves from throughout the land.
-
- “But
what’s this I hear, some disturbing news
- There’s
rebellion in the camp and it’s coming from the Jews”
- His
eyes they bulged and his face went red….
- All
the blood in his body rushed to his head.
-
- “Bring
them in and I’ll give ‘em a scare…
- Disobey
me…? … they wouldn’t dare!
- The
furnace is hot, there’s no time to lose
- It’s
your
God or me, who will you choose?”
-
- As
quick as a flash came the Jews’ reply
- There
was no hesitation, not even a sigh
- “You
can stick your statue right up your………vest..
- Our
God is able, but yours is grotesque!”
-
- The
boys on the drums began to pound
- The
band struck up with a piercing sound
- The
scene was set for a devilish plot
- And
the fire was stoked till it was flaming
hot!
-
- The
Jews were bound with cords of rope
- It
began to look like there wasn’t much hope
- But
the soldiers burnt up as they cast them in the flame
- “So
sorry you bullies…it’s the end of your game!”
-
- The
king was grieved to see his best men fry
- But
consoled himself… “It was worth it, to see the Jews die!
- So
let the band continue to play……
- As
you bow to my statue on this historic day.”
-
- Then
the king turned a pale shade of white
- And
his knees knocked together in dreadful fright
- “I
know I threw in three……but how odd……
- I
see four men loose,
and One’s the Son of God.”
-
- “Could
it be that I was wrong?
- There
is a God, and He’s mighty strong
- He
protects His own, even in the fire
- While
I am exposed as a downright liar.”
-
- The
king then called them forth by name
- And
out they walked from the burning flame….
- I
sometimes wonder what this story would be
- If
he’d called forth the four,
instead of the three.
