Jonah......
Jonah - Jonah, where are you?
Jonah - Jonah, where are you?

The Lord came to me way down around Joppa Bay,
He said, Get up Jonah, go preach to Nin-a-veh-a
But I didn't wanna, why should I preach to them.
So I got on a boat and took it the other way.

Oooh, Jonah, where are you going?
Who do you think you are, you cannot hide.
Oooh, Jonah, won't you stop running - yeah?
You know in your heart you cannot escape my eye.

A terrible storm came up, out on the sea,
The captain and the crew finally figured out the trouble was me.
I said, "all will be well, just throw me over the side."
So over I went into the belly of a fish three days and nights.

Oooh, Jonah, where are you going?
Who do you think you are, you cannot hide.
Oooh, Jonah, won't you stop running - yeah?
You know in your heart you cannot escape my eye.

The waters were dark, the waves rushing over,
The seaweed was wrapped round my head.
The ocean was raging, my soul was a fainting,
And then I remembered your face.
And I cried out, 'Adonai save me."
And you heard me, from the depths you brought me.
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Hallelujah, halleljuah.

I learned the value of boldness on that day,
It really doesn't matter what plot gets in your way,
Right or wrong you cannot run from Him.
You're never too near or far to hear Him say,

Oooh, Jonah, where are you going?
Who do you think you are, you cannot hide.
Oooh, Jonah, won't you stop running - yeah?
You know in your heart you cannot escape My eye.

Jonaaaaaah, Jonaaaah.............................
