[Verse] He ran from the call on the ocean so wide A ship to Tarshish was where he would hide But storms don't whisper they scream and they shout The crew cast lots and the truth tumbled out [Chorus] Oh Jonah oh Jonah what path did you take To run from your purpose was your greatest mistake Swallowed by shadows in a belly of night Out of the deep you were brought to the light [Verse 2] Three days in darkness he wrestled his fear The echoes of prayers were full-crystal clear The fish spat him out on the sand of the shore With purpose renewed he would run no more [Chorus] Oh Jonah oh Jonah what path did you take To run from your purpose was your greatest mistake Swallowed by shadows in a belly of night Out of the deep you were brought to the light [Bridge] He walked through the city Nineveh's gates Warned hearts to turn before it’s too late The people repented their cries reached the sky Jonah learned grace in God’s open eye [Chorus] Oh Jonah oh Jonah what path did you take To run from your purpose was your greatest mistake Swallowed by shadows in a belly of night Out of the deep you were brought to the light
