“Three Days Down” (Jonah & the Great Fish)
[Verse 1]
The word of the Lord came clear and strong
“Go preach to Nineveh, their ways are wrong”
But Jonah turned and he sailed away
To the far-off land where he thought he’d stay
[Chorus]
Three days down in the belly of the deep
Where the dark waters close and the cold winds sweep
You can’t outrun the hand of the Lord
When the sea and the storm obey His word
[Verse 2]
A ship to Tarshish, the sails pulled tight
But the storm came down in the dead of night
The crew cried out, “Man, what have you done?”
“This storm’s on me,” Jonah said, “I’m the one”
[Chorus]
Three days down in the belly of the deep
Where the dark waters close and the cold winds sweep
You can’t outrun the hand of the Lord
When the sea and the storm obey His word
[Verse 3]
They cast him out to the rolling wave
But the Lord had sent a fish to save
In the darkness there Jonah prayed
And the mercy of God made the waters fade
[Final Chorus]
Three days down in the belly of the deep
Where the dark waters close and the cold winds sweep
You can’t outrun the hand of the Lord
When the sea and the storm obey His word
[Outro]
From the shore of grace to the city’s call
Jonah learned the Lord is the ruler of all
