Where You Are

Rich Mullins


"Talkin' Daniel in the den of the lions 
Talkin' Jonah in the belly of a whale 
Talkin' three Hebrew children 
And they're standing in a furnace, fiery furnace 

But the fire didn't burn them and the lions didn't bite 
And the Lord reached down and you can be sure that 
Everything turned out right 
Oh you'll meet the Lord in the furnace 
A long time before you meet Him in the sky 

And where you are ain't where you wish that you was 
Well your life ain't easy and the road is rough 
But where you are is where He promised to be 
From the ends of the world to every point of need 

Talkin' Daniel in the den of the lions 
Talkin' Jonah in the belly of a whale 
Talkin' three Hebrew children 
And they're standing in a furnace, fiery furnace 

But the fire didn't burn them and the lions didn't bite 
And the Lord reached down and you can be sure that 
Everything turned out right 
Oh you'll meet the Lord in the furnace 
A long time before you meet Him in the sky 

Meet Him in your time of trial 
Meet Him in your hour of prayer 
You can reach out and I'll bet 
That you'll find that He's right there 

Where you are however grim it may seem 
This is real life baby 
This ain't no Hollywood dream 
And where you are no matter what you may face 
You're gonna find out real soon what they mean when they say 

Talkin' Daniel in the den of the lions 
Talkin' Jonah in the belly of a whale 
Talkin' three Hebrew children 
And they're standing in a furnace, fiery furnace 

But the fire didn't burn them and the lions didn't bite 
And the Lord reached down and you can be sure that 
Everything turned out right 
Oh you'll meet the Lord in the furnace 
A long time before you meet Him in the sky 

Meet Him in your time of trial 
Meet Him in your hour of prayer 
You can reach out and I'll bet 
That you'll find that He's right there 

But the fire won't burn you and the lions won't bite 
And the Lord will reach down and you can be sure that 
Everything will turn out alright 
Oh you'll meet the Lord in the furnace 
A long time before you meet Him in the sky 
Then you'll meet Him in the sky"
