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..... |
