Jonah
Jonah, to Nineveh you must go
About My grace they should know
In the opposite direction he went
On the boat, he goes
thinking "God can't find me here"
The storm erupted. Everyone in fear.
Into the angry sea Jonah goes
A big fish sent from above
Keeps him safe for three days
Reminding him that
God is even at the bottom of the ocean
Suddenly the fish vomits him out
From the darkness of the sea
to the light of day
Garment complete with algae stains
He shouts repent repent repent
Everyone's day in sackloth and ashes they spent
God's grace and mercy to the Ninevites extend
Some hard lessons Jonah had to learn
