God said"Go to Nineveh, Jonah"
But Jonah ran away
Took a ship to Tarshish
Thought he'd escape that day
Oh Jonah, Jonah
Why'd you run from God
Oh Jonah, Jonah
In the belly of a fish you trod
Three days and nights
Till you saw the light
Oh Jonah, Jonah
God's love is wider than the sea
Wider than the sea
Oh oh oooh
Storm came crashing down
Sailors threw him in the sea
A big fish swallowed Jonah
That's where he learned to believe
Oh Jonah, Jonah
Why'd you run from God
Oh Jonah, Jonah
In the belly of a fish you trod
Three days and nights
Till you saw the light
Oh Jonah, Jonah
God's love is wider than the sea
Wider than the sea
Oh oh oooh
Fish swam to the shore
God spoke, and it obeyed
Spit Jonah on the sand
A prophet now remade
Oh Jonah, Jonah
Why'd you run from God
Oh Jonah, Jonah
In the belly of a fish you trod
Three days and nights
Till you saw the light
Oh Jonah, Jonah
God's love is wider than the sea
Wider than the sea
Oh oh oooh
God showed mercy, spared them all
But Jonah couldn't understand
Why save the enemy
God's love is for every land
Oh Jonah, Jonah
Why'd you run from God
Oh Jonah, Jonah
In the belly of a fish you trod
Three days and nights
Till you saw the light
Oh Jonah, Jonah
God's love is wider than the sea
Wider than the sea
Wider than the sea
Oh oh oooh
Jonah learned a lesson true
God's love is for me and you
