Jonah's Song (Demo)

歌詞

Jonah was a loner and he loved the Lord so the Lord spoke out to him He said, "The men of a city named Ninevah pity themselves no more for their sin So I want you to go there and preach, preach, preach; Come on Jonah get offa your seat" Now Jonah jumped up and took off in the opposite way Jonah came upon a small ship down in Joppa heading out Tarshish way He said, "I can't afford to stay around 'Cause the Lord, He knows I've disobeyed" So he paid his fare and he bought him a ticket Said, "If preaching is a habit, this the best way to kick it 'Cause me and the boys on the boat are gonna ride away Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed Help me Lord and cause my fears to fade Much to their alarm up come a big storm And it commenced to rock that boat And Jonah and the sailors in the boat with the bailers couldn't hardly stay afloat They was wondering about the wild wind's sudden assault And Jonah speaks up and says, "Boys it's all my fault" So they threw him in, the storm stopped, and that was all she wrote Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed Help me Lord and cause my fears to fade This is the worst I ever felt Now You know I need Your help Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed Jonah was a' floating on the calming ocean for he was a stubborn gent And the Lord says, "Hey, I know a surefire way to help him to repent" So He sent a fat fish that was big and bold and it grabbed old Jonah and it swallowed him whole One gulp and old Jonah had some time on his hands to think Aaaa he was a' thinking Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed Help me Lord and cause these fears to fade This is the worst I ever felt Now You know I need Your help Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed With three days spent did the man repent? You better bet it was no chore So up come the fish and (erp) he spit old Jonah on the shore From the boat to the belly from the burp to the beach Jonah's off and running on his way to preach You better bet them Ninevites heard the word of the Lord Hollering Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed Help me Lord and cause these fears to fade This is the worst I ever felt Now You know I need Your help Help me Lord I know I've disobeyed
