Jonah Lyrics

Jonah, God is calling you

Jonah, where you going to

Jonah, why you running away

Jonah, what you buying there

Jonah, why a one-way fare

Jonah, how you going to pay

You can run, you can hide

You may get tossed aside

And you can sit beneath a gourd

You can go, you can flee

By the land, sky, or sea

Or you can fear and trust the Lord

Jonah, running from the Lord

Jonah, you've gone overboard

Jonah, and you've got soaking wet

Jonah, how well can you swim

Jonah, things are looking dim

Jonah, you ain't seen nothing yet

You can flee, you can go

Through the rain, heat, or snow

On mountaintops or underground

You can dash, you can dodge

But there's no place to lodge

Where God's presence cannot be found

Jonah, why are you feeling bad

Jonah, why are you looking sad

Jonah, Nineveh has been saved

Jonah, why you down and out

Jonah, why the withered pout

Jonah, what a way to behave

I can run, I can hide

I may get tossed aside

And I can sit beneath a gourd

I can go, I can flee

By the land, sky, or sea

Or I could fear and trust the Lord

Jonah, God is calling me

Jonah, should I stay or flee

Jonah, after all you've been through

Jonah, tell me what should I do

Jonah, should I listen to you
