Jonah Jonah do you understand
God is a Fisher, a Fisher of Man
You may think that you can
Run away from his plan
Sail out to the ocean
What a foolish notion
For our Lord is everywhere
‘n there’s nowhere to hide from
Him with whom we have to do
Causes all your actions
The lot is cast into the lap
But the whole disposing
There of is of the Lord
So listen very closely
The storms are rising
And the tides are turning
What could all this
What could all this mean
Umin Thurmin
Cast you overboard now
Swallowed up by
A great fish indeed
Three days and Three nights
In the belly of the
Beast that took you where you were
You were wont to go
Suddenly you’re on the shore
A witness to the nation
Nineveh cannot deny
Tis predestination
(INS)
Now you’re sullen
For God’s mercy prevailing
Why are you so angry without cause
What of all this nation
And the many beasts
You could only mourn for the
gourd that was dissolved
Jonah you’re a messenger
Whose message was received
But your heart was hardened
‘n you could not believe
God is full of mercy ‘n his Love always prevails
Seems He spared these many souls
To no avail
(INS)
Jonah Jonah do you understand
God is a Fisher, a Fisher of Man
You may think that you can
Run away from his plan
Sail out to the ocean
What a foolish notion…
Jonah Jonah do you understand
You are the fish in
God’s great master plan
