In The Bible We Are Told
Of A Prophet Who Was Called
To A City That Was
Steeped In Awful Sin;
All The People In That Place
Were Devoid Of Saving Grace,
And The Prophet Seemed
Afraid To Enter In.
Over There, Over There,
In That Land Bright And Fair,
Oh, He’ll Tell Me All
About It Over There;
On The Hallelujah Strand
I’ll Take Jonah By The Hand,
And He’ll Tell Me All
About It Over There.
Then This Prophet Forth Was Sent
That Old Nineveh Might Repent,
But Instead Of That To
Tarshish He Set Sail;
Oh! The Winds Began To Blow,
Overboard Did Jonah Go,
And He Found A Mercy
Seat Inside The Whale.
In The Cold And Briny Deep
Tears Of Grief Did Jonah Weep,
And The Big Fish Threw Him
Out Upon The Shore;
Then He Gladly Went His Way,
Preached To Nineveh Night And Day,
And He Did Not Care To
Backslide Any More.
Oh, Some People Don’t Believe
That A Whale Could Him Receive.
But That Does Not Make
My Song At All Untrue;
There Are Whales On Every Side,
With Their Big Mouths Open Wide
Just Take Care, My Friend,
Or One Will Swallow You.
Many Souls Are Tossed About
By The Whales Of Fear And Doubt,
But The Saviour Wants
To Take Them By The Hand.
If They Will His Voice Obey,
He Will Save Them Right Away,
And Will Guide Them Safely
To The Promised Land.
