Burn Us Up

This song is about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. I love this story so much more now! Shane & Shane make it beautiful.

Daniel 3:16-18
"Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up"

I love that they BELIEVE God is able to deliver.
But even if he DOESN'T, they will burn.
We should want this same passion! Even if God does not answer my prayer, or rescue me in the way I want... He will rescue me in his ways.
So even if he doesn't save me from enemies' hands, I will still praise God and stay right where I am. Even if it is 'burning'.

Lyrics:

"There were three
Before the king
There were three who wouldn’t bow to him
For when you heard
The music play
And you were standing you would burn.
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

The king enraged
At what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
They looked to him and said…

You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us
Come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t..."


Even if,
