O Profeta Jonas

I have read in the holy Bible
About a prophet who did not want
To preach salvation in a city
He set course for Tarshish
And did not go to Nineveh
His ship took another direction

But the lot was cast
Upon Jonah it fell
The sentence of cruel condemnation
The prophet who fled
To the fury of the waves
Soon had the deserved punishment

I will go, go Lord
To announce the gospel message
Do not let me flee
From making the world hear
The good news that I must proclaim

But the fish that swallowed him
Was prepared by God
The repentant prophet prayed to the Father
For forgiveness of his mistakes
He went to preach in Nineveh
For the fish on land, Jonah was cast

I will go, go Lord
To announce the gospel message
Do not let me flee
From making the world hear
The good news that I must proclaim
