The Sign of Jonah (lyrics)
[Verse 1]
God told Jonah, "Go and preach!"
To a city far away,
Instead he caught a ship to sail
Upon the ocean spray!
A mighty storm began to blow,
The sailors cried in fear,
"Oh, who has caused this heavy wind
To toss our little gear?"
[Chorus]
Slosh, splash, down he went!
Into the ocean blue!
God prepared a big, big fish
To rescue Jonah through!
Just like Jonah was inside
The belly of the fish,
God kept him safe and sound—
His love is deep and rich!
[Verse 2]
Three long days and three long nights,
In the dark and deep,
Jonah prayed and trusted God
While in the fish's keep.
Then out he popped onto the sand,
To preach with all his might,
And turn a wicked city back
To walking in the light!
[Bridge]
Now listen close, boys and girls,
To what this means today,
Jesus used the Sign of Jonah
In a wondrous way:
“Just like Jonah was inside
The belly of the fish,
So the Son of Man was in
The heart of earth for this—
Three days and nights, He died and rose,
For sinners, weak as we,
To conquer death and bring new life
For you and me eternally!”
[Outro]
Yes, for you and me!
In the deep blue sea, or the heart of the earth,
Jesus' love shows endless worth!

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus. Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?
“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15). He preached that we must repent and believe.
Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
