Lyrics
Jonah was sent to the city
Of Nineveh and God told him just what to say
Go and tell the people - destruction's a coming
But Jonah booked passage for the opposite way
He was sleeping but he was running
So the sky turned black and waves started churning
Jonah, Jonah, you better hear what God has to say
Jonah, Jonah, you may run for your life but you can't run away
The wind's like a hurricane blowing
You're gonna be fish bait but you don't know it
Jonah, Jonah, you better hear what God has to say
The storm was so bad that old Jonah
Told 'em to throw him in the midst of the sea
They did what he asked and the sea stopped raging
But Jonah was praying "Have mercy on me"
'Cause a whale had swallowed up Jonah
Day three he agreed to do what God told him
Jonah, Jonah, had a seaweed wrap but not at a sauna
Jonah, Jonah, go to the city even if you don't wanna
Tell what you learned in the fish
You have forty days to repent or perish
Jonah, Jonah, you finally said what God said to say
When Jonah preached to the city
They believed every word that he said
And God saved 'em all just like he will save us
If we believe Jesus came back from the dead
For God loved a world full of sinners
If they're big as a whale or as small as a minnow
Jonah, Jonah, keep on saying what God said to say
