Lyrics

The king told his subjects to kneel
Upon the ground
Before his gold statue
When they heard the musics sound
But three wise men
Were brought to him bound
Because they defied the king
by not kneeling down.
In his rage the King
Screamed, is this true?
That ye won’t bow down to
my gold statue?
Now worship or this furnace
you’ll be thrown into
And who is that God
that shall rescue you?
ooh, ooh, ooh
Bridge
They said Oh King, we’ve always ,obeyed thy demand
But in this thing we cannot do , as thou command
Let it be known Oh King,
If needed our God, who is true
Can save us from the fire
He can come to our rescue
Chorus,
But if not, … we won’t bow down to thy statue oh King
But if not ,… we won’t serve thy Gods by worshiping
But if not … we’ll put our trust in God till the very end
But if not… we’ll praise His name and dwell with him
But if not
But if not
Verse,
The fiery furnace was heated more than it had ever been
Then the angry king had these men thrown in
When they cast them in, they fell down
But then they arose and started walking around
The King was troubled as he gazed through the door
Then cried, we threw three men in. Why do I see four?
And the fourth one looks like, the Son of God
When the three came out unharmed all were awed

The king said, Blessed be these men that kept not my demand
But instead obeyed God and followed His command
Let it be known, oh my people by Royal decree
That no one speak against their God for He is the almighty
Chorus
For they said,
But if not, … we won’t bow down to thy image oh King
But if not ,… we won’t serve thy Gods by worshiping
But if not … we’ll put our trust in God till the very end
But if not… we’ll praise His name and dwell with him
But if not
But if not
Many years later this Son of God came to earth again
To save us from flames and endless pain
He was a man of sorrow, weighed down by sin
He drank the bitter cup , no one rescued Him
He gave His life for us as a sacrifice
Cause only, He, could pay the heavy price
So Trust in His power all things He can do
And believe He knows and wants what’s best for you
ooh, ooh, oh
Bridge,
He prayed , Father I’ve obeyed all that thy demand
But I shrink to do, this command
if it be thy will, remove this cup from me
Yet Not my will be done, but I will do it for Thee
Chorus
But if not, I’ll drink the cup of gall and bitterness
But if not, I’ll take your sins upon me oh ,how they press
But if not, … I’ll trust in God till the very end
But if not… I’ll praise His name and go dwell with him
But if not ooh , ooh
But if not
