And was forgiven!

God asked Jonah to obey
To obey, to obey,
God asked Jonah to
obey
But Jonah said "No Way!"
(point
finger at Jonah, then cross arms and shake head)
So
from God he ran away,
Ran away, Ran away,
So from God he ran away,
And disobeyed the LORD.
(run in place, shake
finger and/or head disapprovingly)
God stopped Jonah
with a whale,
With a whale, With a whale,
God stopped Jonah with
a whale,
That swallowed Jonah whole!
(swim like a whale, rub tummy at the end)
Jonah prayed
"I'm sorry, LORD"
"I'm sorry, LORD", "I'm sorry, LORD"
Jonah
prayed "I'm sorry, LORD"
And this time I'll obey.
(fold hands in prayer, nod head in agreement)
So God gave him a second chance,
Second chance, Second
chance,
So God gave him a second chance,
And the whale spit
Jonah out.
(hold up two fingers, then make
gagging noise)
So Jonah went to Nineveh,
Nineveh,
Nineveh,
So Jonah went to Nineveh,
To tell about the LORD!
(run in place)
I'll obey like
Jonah too,
Jonah too, Jonah too,
I'll obey like Jonah too,
And
tell about the LORD!
(nod head in
agreement)
