Jonah Son of Amittai
Jonah Son of Amittai
Jonah should go to Nineveh one day,
But to Tarshish is where he ran away,
And off to Joppa he raced and went,
Without ever having God's consent.
Paid required amount and went aboard;
Headed towards Tarshish from the Lord;
Jonah then was thrown into raging sea
Where he never had been meant to be.
They offered sacrifices and vows made;
To God who was one they once forbade;
Certain section of water God would hallow,
And Jonah, a great fish, him did swallow.
Will complete letter after I wake up tomorrow.
The rest is all ready to be typed up. Jim Horn
