Belly Of The Deep Lyrics

Heave-ho lads on the rolling sea

Jonah's running from his destiny

God's call rang out but he turned away

Now a tempest brews no port to stay

In the storm's wild wail

'Neath the thunder's veil

In the belly of the deep as ships sail

Heave-ho 'tis a prophet's tale

Waves crash down lightning splits the sky

Sailors tremble thinking they will die

"Who has cursed us? What's this dreadful plight?"

Jonah steps forth face pale with fright

In the storm's wild wail

'Neath the thunder's veil

In the belly of the deep as ships sail

Heave-ho 'tis a prophet's tale

"Throw me over and the seas will calm

I've defied my God and I've brought this harm"

Into the depths Jonah is cast

Swallowed whole by a whale so vast

Three days three nights in darkness confined

Jonah prays with a desperate mind

"From the deep I call O Lord my plea

Deliver me from this watery sea"

In the storm's wild wail

'Neath the thunder's veil

In the belly of the deep as ships sail

Heave-ho 'tis a prophet's tale

In the storm's wild wail

'Neath the thunder's veil

Then from the depths he's cast ashore

Nineveh's call he'll heed the cry

'Neath the stormy sky
