Nineveh

Album: SEVEN - Live

Verse 1
Nineveh, oh, Nineveh
The Lord is turning toward you
Compassion or calamity
Will you heed the warning?

Chorus
Fall on your knees, tear down your idols
When you choose surrender, you choose survival
Call on His name, turn from your violence
Out of the ashes, He will revive you

Post-Chorus
God have mercy
God have mercy

Verse 2
I know You are a gracious God
I know You're slow to anger
But I misunderstood Your love
Forgive me, God, for running

Chorus
You sent a wind, stirred up the ocean
Still, I rebelled, my heart wasn't open
But when I prayed, You were there waiting
I made a vow to speak Your salvation

Post-Chorus
Nineveh, oh, Nineveh
The Lord is turning toward you

Bridge
Holy Spirit, help me see
Where there is Nineveh in me
Turn away Your wrath once more
God have mercy
Perfect prophet, priest, and King
Christ became the reckoning
In His body, bore my sin
Now to all who trust in Him
God has mercy
Oh, God have mercy on us

Outro
Nineveh, oh, Nineveh
The Lord is turning toward you
The Lord is turning toward you
The Lord is turning toward you
