Burn us UP!

do you ever wish you could have great faith? faith that would cause you to be willing to lose your life, just in order not to forsake God?  i was recently listening to a shane & shane song called 'burn us up', and it struck me. . . these guys were willing to give thier lives to a fiery furnace, rather than forsake God.  it's talking about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

There were three, before the king
There were three who wouldn’t bow to him
For when you heard, the music play
And you were standing you would burn
They looked at him and said…

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

The king enraged, at what they said
Sent the three away to find their death
The palace stopped in unbelief
When the guilty raised their hands to sing
They looked at him and said…Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us, come and save us
We are Yours
But even if You don’t, if you don't 
But even if You don’t, if you don't
We will burn! we will burn!
We will burn!

Burn us up! Burn us up! Burn us up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire
We give up! We give up! We give up!
Oh king won’t you burn us in the furnace of
Your desire!
Won’t you throw us in the fire!

wow,. . . . . can you believe that? 
You are able to deliver from the fire of affliction
It’s the declaration of my Lord
You’re not an image of gold
You’re the God of old
You have made us, come and save us
We are Yours. . . But even if You don’t,
We will burn!
oh, if only i had that kind of faith. . .
