Jonah

God wanted Nineveh's people to repent
And Jonah was the chosen one sent
Jonah disobeyed God and began to flee
He hid aboard a ship going out to sea


Jonah felt guilty with heavy-laden shame
And Jonah was willing to accept the blame
God sent out to sea a very stormy gale
Also God also sent out a very large whale

Jonah was thrown in the sea, it is said
There was silence and the storm was dead
Inside the whale's stomach, Jonah was sad
Because he knew running from God was bad

Jonah lived and later to Nineveh he went
To warn Nineveh's people to please repent
The moral to this important Bible story
Obey God,love others,and give God the glory
