[Verse] The voice of God it thundered clear A task to take what men would fear To Nineveh where enemies stand But Jonah fled to another land [Verse 2] To Tarshish far his feet did roam Escaping whispers calling him home What did he see what burned so bright That made him run into the night [Chorus] Run Jonah run from your Lord above Turn from His wrath and to a dove What have you seen what’s in your hand That we can’t see or understand [Verse 3] The waves they rise a seagull screams The sea should ease this prophet's dreams A holy guilt a burden’s weight A man who runs from heaven’s fate [Bridge] A city waits in shadow’s grip The truth it sails off on a ship The enemy's heart a hardened stone Where mercy’s seed remains unknown [Chorus] Run Jonah run from your Lord above Turn from His wrath and to a dove What have you seen what’s in your hand That we can’t see or understand
