CHORUS:   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       CHORUS      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       CHORUS      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
