Daniel Joshua and Jonah

Daniel Joshua and Jonah
            (children's song music & lyrics by Joan Donnelly 1991)
Verse 1
 Now Daniel was thrown to the Lions but he was in God's care
 Daniel prayed to God three times a day and Jesus heard his prayer
 Jesus locked the lion's jaw tight because Daniel did what was right
 And the King arrived and set Daniel free ...safe in the King's arms Daniel did flee.

 Chorus 1:
 You can now hear Daniel praising: 
 Oh Halleluiah, You scareded dat, awsul bad, maded me mad, that awsul bad lion away.

 Verse 2:
 Now Jonah was a rebel who refused to obey
 Then he woke up in the belly of a whale swimming 'round in his tears 3 days
 God sent the whale to Nineveh where he spat Jonah out from his insides
 Cuz Jonah said he'd obey God and spread the gospel to the Ninevites 
 Who turned from wickedness and God saved their hides

 Chorus 2:
 Oh Halleluiah Jesus, Jonah sang, I love you
 You opened the mouth of the whale and rescued me
 Cuz I'm too good for blubber stew.

 Verse 3:
 Now Joshua was an Israeli soldier and a gem to God was he
 Joshua and army marched 'round the walls of Jericho 'til they tumbled supernaturally
 And God never, never, never, never, never, never , never ignores those who repent and pray
 Jesus sanctifies, and he purifies cuz He is the Light and the Truth and the Way.

 Chorus 3:
 Oh Halleluiah Jesus I love You ooo hoo hoo hoo
 Oh Halleluiah I love You, I love You, I love You
