GOD said go
Jonah said no

Jonah takes the easy way
But Jonah did not pray

The easy way sure was hard
There was no lifeguard

In the middle of an ocean
Jonah knows where he shoulda been

But before he can die
A big fish swims by

Disobediant prophet--bellyache
Now which road will he take

Straight to Ninevah he goes
Preach the Word look out toes

Revival comes as a city repents
A self-absorbed prophet resents

Poor me why don't you let me die
Sitting in the shade having a good cry

Agonizing when his shade withers away
Once again he forgets to pray

GOD had his way but Jonah did not
Each step of the way Jonah fought

How often do we do what Jonah did
GOD gave us direction but we hid

Hoping to find another way
We too forget to pray

And in our storm we wonder why
Doesn't GOD hear our desperate cry

Perhaps there is a Ninevah of one
Disobediant christians shun

But GOD will have his way
Even if we forget to pray

Why not miss the drama and simply obey
Walk in the light He gives each day

GOD doesn't demand results
This kind of thinking insults

He only needs a heart that is broken
To speak the Word He has spoken


.....peace.....
