Album: Six Minutes After Seven
Jonah was a man of faith; a man God gave a mission
Said "Jonah for the souls of man, I want you to go fishin'
And Nineveh is where you'll go to preach to all the heathen
And when they hear My word from you those people will start believin'"
Now Jonah hated Nineveh, and he thought he'd go
Anywhere but Nineveh, but he didn't know
That when you run away from God you might as well set sail
With a one-way ticket right into the belly of the whale
Jonah jumped aboard a boat bound in the wrong direction
But when the ship tossed high and low the sailors made the connection
That they should cast their lots to see this stranger there on board
Was the one who had the nerve to go and upset his own Lord
The sailors said, "What have you done? Why do you run and hide?"
And he said, "What will you do with me?" So they threw him over the side
And a great big fish gulped Jonah down if you believe the tale
And he spent the next three days and nights in the belly of the whale
You know that it was three whole days before Jonah started prayin'
But the fish spit Jonah out on land when the Lord heard what he was sayin'
And Jonah went to Nineveh to preach to all the heathen
And when they heard God's word from him, those people started believin'
Now if you are a man of faith, here's what you need to do
Listen to the Lord and seek the path he has for you
And if you run away from God you might as well set sail
With a one-way ticket right into the belly of the whale
