Scripture Reading from Jonah 1:1-6
As a Scripture Response, Rev. Bell played guitar and sang “Jonah and the Whale," vs. 1 and 2
Verse 1
In the Bible we are told
Of a prophet who was called
To a city that was steeped in awful sin
All the people in that place
Were devoid of saving grace
And the prophet seemed afraid to enter in
Chorus
Over there,
In that land bright bright and fair
Oh he’ll tell me all about it over there
On the hallelujah strand
God will take me by the hand
And he’ll tell me all about it over there!
Verse 2
Then ol’ Jonah forth was sent
That old Ninevah might repent
But instead of that to Tarshish he set sail
Oh the sailors, they were kind
But Jonah had a stubborn mind
So off the ship he went and into the belly of a whale.
Chorus
