Lyrics
Jonah By Patrick P Welch 3/24
Jonah was a prophet; God gave him a task
Go and preach in Ninevh tell them to repent
Jonah had another plan, got onto a ship
The storm came up. pagon sailors thought Jonah had caused it.
They threw Jonah overboard. Had enough of that.
Jonah did not drown; God gave him another chance
He sent a hungry whale looking for a snack
3 days in the belly of the whale, whale was feeling sick
Coughed Jonah up on dry land
Ready to do his task, Jonah reconsidered quick
Preached a real short sermon, which the people seemed to grasp
They asked for forgiveness. in sack cloth and ash
Jonah got forgiveness, got coughed up on the sand
Would God give forgiveness to you or me, if we ask
Of course, you know he would It's promised in His Book
His mercy is unending, His love unconditional
Our steps are blessed and counted We're forgiven when we ask
The whales of life can't digest us we're on the sand giving thanks.
No, the whales of life can't digest us we're on the sand giving thanks.
Been Coughed up by a whale I'M on the sand giving thanks,
Yes you and me can get forgiveness be on the sand giving thanks.
