Another in the fire is a song by Hillsong United. The band is currently signed to Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG.)
What is the song Another in the Fire by Hillsong United all about?
“Another in the fire,”is a reference to the bible passage in Daniel 3. It tells the story of three Hebrew men- Abednego, Shadrach, and Meshach.
The three refused to bow to the graven image of the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar. This angered the king, who asked some soldiers to throw them into a fiery furnace. It was so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers while nothing happened to the trio.
But Jesus sent his angel “(Another in the fire) ” to rescue them in the furnace. Nebuchadnezzar was dazed when he saw four men come out of the fire unharmed.
Hence, the song is an assurance to all believers that all will be well for them no matter the difficulty they are going through. The artists assure all of God’s presence in every situation they are facing.
The artists charge people not to be downcast but to hold on to the faith they have in God in rough times because God will always come through for them. “You are never alone,” God is with you.
Hillsong United also talked about God’s death that already freed us from sin.
Lyrics to Another in the Fire by Hillsong United
Intro

Verse 1
There’s a grace when the heart is under fire
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
Chorus
There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I’ve been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
There is another in the fire
Verse 2
All my debt left for dead beneath the waters
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way, I won’t bow
To the things of this world
(And I know) I know I will never be alone
Chorus
There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds nobody
And now that power lives in me
Hook
There is another in the fire oh oh
There is another in the fire oh oh
There is another in the fire oh oh
There is another in the fire oh oh
Bridge
And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us
Verse 3
There is no other name
But the name that is Jesus
He who was and still is
And will be through it all
So come what may in the space between
All the things unseen and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
And I know I will never be alone
Chorus
There’ll be another in the fire
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
Bridge
And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us
