Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Big Fish Spat Him Out

There was a man God called to serve
but he refused to go God's way
going in the opposite direction
this was a price he would soon pay

This man was Jonah a runaway
like so many fleeing the divine presence
going on a ship bound for Tarshish
but God knew who jumped the fence

He saw Jonah had jumped ship
so God brought along a big fish
which swallowed him up into his belly
there for 3 days and nights one big dish

So Jonah prayed earnestly to God
the Lord spoke to the fish so it was sick
it spat him out so Jonah obeyed
preaching righteousness to all to stick

This Jonah is really so like me
the sinfulness rebellion a sick heart
only God could turn him around
but he did give him a new start
