The Fourth Man In The Fire

Johnny Cash

Transposer:

(intro)   Well the prophet Daniel tells about three men who walked with God Shadrach Meshach and Abednego before the wicked king they stood. Now the king commanded them bound and thrown into the fiery coals that day but the fire was so hot the men were slain that forced them on their way.          They wouldn’t bend they held on to the will of God so we are told         would not bow they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold.              Would not burn they were protected by the fourth man in the fire      they wouldn’t bend they wouldn’t bow they wouldn’t burn.                          Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up to witness their awful fate he began to tremble at what he saw and in astonished tones he spake.               Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire I believe I see four men unhurt unbound and walking’ down there.                I see Shadrach Meshach and Abednego in the fiery coals they trod but the form of the fourth man that I see is like the Son of God.     They wouldn’t bend held on to the will of God so we are told      would not bow they would not bow their knees to the idols made of gold.              Would not burn they were protected by the fourth man in the fire      they wouldn’t bend wouldn’t bow they wouldn’t burn.                       They wouldn’t bow they held on to the will of God we are told           they wouldn?t bow they would not bow their knees  to the idols made of gold.               They wouldn?t burn they were protected by the fourth man in the fire        they wouldn’t bend they wouldn’t bow they wouldn’t burn.                          They wouldn’t bend they wouldn’t bow they wouldn’t burn.

La chanson raconte l'histoire de trois hommes, Shadrach, Meshach et Abednego, qui restent fidèles à leur foi en Dieu, même face à la menace d'une mort certaine dans les flammes. Le roi, indigné par leur refus d'adorer des idoles, les jette dans un four ardent. Cependant, au lieu de périr, ils se retrouvent protégés, accompagnés d'une quatrième figure, qui semble être une manifestation divine. Ce miracle témoigne de leur courage et de leur loyauté envers Dieu, illustrant comment la foi peut offrir une protection dans les épreuves les plus difficiles. Le contexte de cette histoire biblique provient de l'Ancien Testament, dans le livre de Daniel. Elle met en avant le conflit entre la foi et la pression sociale, un thème qui résonne encore aujourd'hui. La chanson évoque ainsi des questionnements sur la fidélité, la détermination et la présence divine dans les moments critiques.
