Jonah: Reluctant Prophet

To preach to Ninevah was not his wish - So sailing west, the prophet disobeyed. When God appointed wind and storm and fish To punish, teach, and save him, Jonah prayed: "I called out to the Lord in my distress, I cried for help from deep within my grave. With songs of great thanksgiving will I bless Your name. You answered me - I know you save.” Then preaching holy wrath, he watched the city From low to high repent and seek the Lord. God showered all with mercy, love, and pity Then Jonah's faith he patiently restored. Three days; salvation; grace; all intertwine As Christ's prophetic resurrection sign.
