He's Still In The Fire

Well, my mama read a story from the Bible long ago About Shadrach, Meshach, and old Abednego How the wicked king commanded they be thrown into the flame Because they would not bow and then deny their Father's name Mama said the king stood high upon a balcony so tall When he looked in, he was shocked by all the things he saw Because he thought that he would find them lying dead upon the ground But instead of three he counted four up walking all around Then I said "Mama, wait a minute, there's one thing that I must know If three went in and three came out, then where'd that fourth man go?" And I never will forget it, Mama danced across the floor These are the words I heard her say while shouting through the door She said, He's still in the fire, and He's walking in the flame And He'll be there to help you when you call upon his name And he can still deliver by His almighty power While here below, it's good to know He's still in the fire I said, He's still in the fire, and He's walking in the flame And He'll be there to help you when you call upon his name And he can still deliver by His almighty power While here below, it's good to know He's still in the fire While here below, it's good to know He's still in the fire Oh, now my friend, you may be destined to face life's hottest flame But I'm glad to tell you through the power of His name Not one flame of fire will harm you, you'll come through it and you'll tell Yesterday, today, forever God is still alive and well I said, He's still in the fire, and He's walking in the flame And He'll be there to help you when you call upon his name And he can still deliver by His almighty power While here below, it's good to know He's still in the fire While here below, it's good to know He's still in the fire He's in the fire Amen Thank you, thank you very much Well, we've had some wonderful folks here Who helped us in our singing down through these many years We want to say thanks to every one of them Some of them are here tonight They have come in for this special reunion time And they'd be singing some of their favorite songs That they used to do with us years ago, and you're gonna get to meet them as they sing Well, we also have some third generation Speers That have helped us down through the years Brother Ben sons, Steve and Darin Speer My daughter Suzan and my two sons, Marc and Brian Speer They've all helped us out, and they're third generation Speers And we want to say thanks for the contribution that they have made to the group I don't know which one might take the group and go with it after we're gone Whether either any of them will or not They have stopped to go to school and raise families and so on But anyway our thanks to them Well, here's the group coming back around to sing for you again And this is another old Dad Speer song, he was our first songwriter And here's my favorite of all the 600 songs I guess that he wrote in his lifetime This is my favorite, came out of 1939, Heaven
