Like Jonah in the Whale Lyrics

I was tossed out of the ship and swallowed by the surge

Carried then across the tide, to survive and emerge

Coughed up on some foreign shore, baffled, starved and pale

I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale

I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale

I try to make sense of it, it's all to no avail

God is in his heaven, devil's in the dark detail

And I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale

I cry to the Lord above, oh please show me a sign

I try to discern his voice but all I hear is mine

I strain and strain to hear his words but I always fail

And I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale

Why are we so fearful and vengeful and cross

Humourless and hateful and lonesome and lost?

How did we get here? What now should we do?

What in hell is happening between me and you?

I guess in time we all will know, it all shall be revealed

Have mercy in the meantime Lord, oh be our strength and shield

Forgive us our confusion and our faith so weak and frail

We all are in this world just like Jonah in the whale

I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale

I try to make sense of it, it's all to no avail

God is in his heaven, devil's in the dark detail

And I am in this world just like Jonah in the whale
