Lyrics
No Jonah
And the Lord said
Arise and go now, down to Nineveh
And cry against them there
For they are against Me
They do not want Me
And it seems they just don't care
but I did not obey Him, I ran the other way
cause I was weak and scared, and knew not what to say
then I got swallowed up, by this old world
and I knew that I was wrong
so I got down on my knees
I prayed and asked Him please
to bring me back where I belong
He heard my voice, and my afflictions He did see
Then I took His loving hand, as He rescued me
Now I will go wherever He leads me
And I will be His' light for all to see
I will harken to Him and obey
All these things of Him I ask and pray, and.......
I'm not gonna be no Jonah
What is life worth living for, if not for God?
Only pain and misery
By His' stripes He heals you
And by His' grace forgives you
And His' word He makes us free
He heard my voice..........
