JONAH
(Preschoolers Sing #30)

1. Jonah was a preacher, and God told him one day.
"Jonah, go a-preaching; folks need to know my way."
But Jonah thought, "Oh, no!" and ran away to hide
Out on a sailing ship, out on the ocean wide.
(Slowly) Jonah should have obeyed.

2. God made a big storm; the winds went, "Oo-oo-oo!"
Jonah told the people just what they should do.
They threw him in the sea with a great big swish,
And down in that deep water He was swallowed by a fish!
(Slowly) Jonah should have obeyed.

3. Jonah learned a lesson; he really had a scare!
He learned he couldn't hide from God, who's ev'rywhere.
Then God told that big fish to put Jonah on dry land.
Jonah was so glad; now he could understand.
(Slowly) It's best to obey
