Meshach

Apologetix


Hey, there's three real famous guys in the Bible you know 
And the in-between guy's name is Meee-shach! 
Meschach, yeah, yeah 
I read about them in Daniel one day 
Look in chapter 1:7 babe 
And then you can go get their names 
They got treated harsh by the king of the world (go get their names) 
When they didn't bow down to his gold statue (go get their names) 
They got in a crisis and just about perished from burnin' up 
Hey, king, your joke's not funny 
Well-a Meshach was an Israelite faced with 
Mean King Neb'chadnezzar 
Meshach, baby - ah Meshach baby 
Meshach, baby, Shadrach, Meshach, baby, Shadrach 
Ah, babe, Abednego's last 
Simon says, kneel and pray fools 
You must do as the law says! 
Well, sittin' way back in the middle of a field 
There's a 90-foot statue; ya gotta pray to that 
Glitter on the statue didn't make the guys pray 
Even if they got scorched, they would trust in Yahweh 
Well-a Meshach was an Israelite faced with 
Mean King Neb'chadnezzar 
Meshach, baby - Meshach baby 
Meshach - Neb'chadnezzar's mad 
Meshach's no scaredy cat 
Huffin' and a hissin' guess he wasn't bluffin' 
Nebuchadnezzar shoved 'em in the hottest of ovens 
But hold on kiddies 
Cause everybody's movin' around and around and around and around 
Nebby got confused and said, "I thought we threw them in with 
Ropes tied 'em up - now guys how'd they get out? 
There's four bodies movin' - there's another dude in there and 
Come here, Meschach - want you to come back!" 
Often a crisis looks as big as a whale and you're about to get nailed 
But God isn't far, He sees you now buddy 
So come on and pray - you're cool, stop running 

CHORUS 
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord, baby! Talk a little louder soldier 
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord baby! I can't hear you! 
Wait, wait! On the Lord, baby! Wait, wait! On the Lord! 
Wait, wait! On the Lord, baby! Batman! 
Girls, what?!! Same tune … trust me 

Meshach, baby, Shadrach (Ah, baby, trustworthy chaps, yeah) 
Meshach, baby, Shadrach (Ah, baby, trustworthy chaps) 
(Hope you learned a lesson standin' in the oven with a-Meshach)
