19 God’s Messenger
Today’s Song: Jonah
1. Come and listen to my fearful tale
Of the ocean blue
How a man got swallowed by a whale
Yes I know it’s true
Jonah! Jonah! Did not obey God immediately
Jonah! Jonah! Down in the depths of the deep, blue sea
2. Jonah did not like what God had said
So he made a plan
Jonah sailed the ocean blue instead
Then a storm began
Jonah! Jonah! Did not obey God immediately
Jonah! Jonah! Down in the depths of the deep, blue sea
3. Then a great big fish that God had made
Swallowed Jonah whole,
But the Lord heard Jonah when he prayed,
Rescue my poor soul.
Jonah! Jonah! Did not obey God immediately
Jonah! Jonah! Down in the depths of the deep, blue sea
4. If you try to run from God, BEWARE!
You’ll discover too
That the Lord above is everywhere
Watching all you do
Jonah! Jonah! Did not obey God immediately
Jonah! Jonah! Down in the depths of the deep, blue sea.
