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
