Where You Are

(album: The World As Best As I Remember It, Volume One - 1991)

Talking Daniel
In the den of the lions
Talking Jonah
In the belly of a whale

Talking 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

Talking Daniel
In the den of the lions
Talking Jonah
In the belly of a whale

Talking 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

Talking Daniel
In the den of the lions
Talking Jonah
In the belly of a whale

Talking 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, baby
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 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 all right

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
