You do what the Good Lord tells you,
And you won’t get swallowed,
And you won’t get swallowed, up!

God told the ole man Jonah,
he should go to Ninevah.

But he didn’t want to go.
Jonah, Jonah, better listen!
Jonah, Jonah, better listen!
Jonah, Jonah, better listen!
When God says you should go!

Gulp-gulp-fizz!

Jonah & the Fish
Tune: London Bridge
God asked Jonah to obey,
to obey, to obey,
God asked Jonah to obey,
He said “no!”
Jonah was swallowed by a fish,
By a fish, by a fish,
Jonah was swallowed by a fish,
Swallowed whole!
Jonah prayed to God above,
God above, God above,
Jonah prayed to God above,
And was forgiven.
Jonah was spit out on the ground,
on the ground, on the ground,
Jonah was spit out on the ground,
God saved Jonah.
Then Jonah went to Ninevah,
Ninevah, Ninevah,
Then Jonah went to Ninevah,
To tell about the Lord.
Runaway Jonah
Tune: London Bridge
Jonah runs and hides from God
(Cover face with hands)
Where is he? Can you see?
(Shield eyes with hands)
Jonah runs and hides from God
(Cover face with hands)
But God forgives him
(cross hands over heart)
In the belly of a fish
(hold nose)
Jonah prays, three whole days
(fold hands, hold up 3 fingers)
In the belly of a fish
(hold nose)
And God forgives him
(cross hands over heart)
Jonah Forgiveness Song
Tune: Jesus Loves Me
Silly Jonah ran away.
But God still watched him day by day.
Jonah prayed inside a whale.
And God’s forgiveness never failed.
God will forgive us.
God will forgive us.
God will forgive us.
When we ask him to.
Like Jonah we may disobey,
But God forgives us when we pray.
Even if we try to hide.
God will still be on our side.
(Repeat chorus)
Jonah Ran Away
Tune: Mary Had a Little Lamb
Jonah ran away from God,
away from God, away from God,
Jonah ran away from God,
He disobeyed the Lord.
In the belly of a big fish,
A big fish, a big fish,
In the belly of a big fish,
Jonah cried and roared.
Then Jonah prayed to God,
prayed to God, prayed to God,
Then Jonah prayed to God
In the belly of the fish.
God had the fish spit Jonah out,
spit Jonah out, spit Jonah out,
God had the fish spit Jonah out,
Spit Jonah out on dry land!
There Was a Man Named Jonah
Tune: listen to tune in YouTube (May also be sung to Mary Had a Little Lamb)
There was a man named Jonah, Jonah, Jonah,
There was a man named Jonah,
Jonah did not mind.
God said go preach to Nineveh,
Nineveh, Nineveh,
God said go preach to Nineveh,
Jonah did not mind.
Along came a big fish,
A big fish, a big fish,
Along came a big fish,
And swallowed Jonah up.
Inside the fish Jonah prayed,
Jonah prayed, Jonah prayed,
Inside the fish Jonah prayed,
And coughed Jonah UP!
Then Jonah went to Nineveh,
Nineveh, Nineveh,
Then Jonah went to Nineveh,
Jonah did obey.
