God Came to Jonah
 
1. God came to Jonah and said, "Go Down to the city and say so:
I am not pleased with your doings,
Soon you will fall into ruins. 
 
2. But Jonah wanted to go hide,
He ran away to the seaside;
Got on a boat that was ready,
And off they sailed, sure and steady. 
 
3. But then the winds started blowing,
And all the men they were rowing;
When Jonah blamed it on his sin,
Into the water they threw him. 
 
4. Then came a fish and did swallow,
So Jonah prayed in his sorrow.
After three days he came to land,
He was spit out on the warm sand. 
 
5. Then to the city with running,
He went to give them God's warning.
All of the people were sorry,
And that's the end of the story.
