Jonah: Repentence? | Rev. Connor Bell

Scripture Reading from Jonah 1:17-2:10

 

Scripture response is a song played on guitar and sung by Rev. Bell “Jonah and the Whale,” vs. 2 and 3

 

Verse 2

Then ol’ Jonah forth was sent

That old Nineveh might repent

But instead of that to Tarshish he set sail

Oh the sailors, they were kind

But Jonah had a stubborn mind

So off the ship he went into the belly of a whale.

 

Chorus

Over there,

In that land bright bright and fair

Oh he’ll tell me all about it over there

On the hallelujah strand

God will take me by the hand

And he’ll tell me all about it over there!

 

Verse 3

In the cold and briny deep

Tears of grief did Jonah weep

And a prayed a prayer that God his skin might save

Three long days and three long nights

Jonah bargained for his life

God delivered him to shore from a watery grave

 

Chorus
