       C

Hananiah's my name and I'm bound to dwell,

        Fm

in the city to which all our fathers fell,

            C

And our King is upset over what he dreamed

            Fm

Got it's meaning but he didn't like it's theme

                    C

That Heaven rules, it raises kings and lowers,

                         C                   Fm

But Neb's been fooled, if he thinks this last's forever

-------

                        C Fm

And so I pray You'll prepare us now,

             C                     Fm

To stand in the day when every knee will bow!

                 G#                       A#

Bring us so close to You that if we face the fire,

                     C   

they can see Messiah!

-------

      C

“So Mishael,” they had said to me, “Did you hear?

    Fm

About this law that is passing in days real near

        C

How we must meet with the world on a certain day

       Fm

And then bow to an image as music plays

       C                        Fm

To a beat that’s sure to please the senses

            C                      Fm

To make us kneel despite the consequences”

-------

                        C Fm

And so I pray You'll prepare us now,

             C                     Fm

To stand in the day when every knee will bow!

                 G#                       A#

Bring us so close to You that if we face the fire,

                     C   

they can see Messiah!

-------

      C                          Fm

“Azariah!” loudly they called out my name

                C

As we got up to walk to the plain

C                    Fm

All these people must now take their stand

Fm

For the Lord or the laws of the land…

                  C                    Fm

Well as for me, my face is flint, no retreat

                      C            Fm

For a man can die, but his-story can repeat

-------

                   C             Fm

That’s why I pray You’ll prepare us now

                 C                             Fm

To stand in the day every knee will bow

                   G#                         A#

Bring us so close to You that You’re the one desire

                          G# A#                C  Fm C    Fm

So they can see Messiah as He walks us through the fire
