(Verse 1)
Sometimes we don't like where we're going,
Or maybe that we have been sent
It's hard to tell just what you're doing
When your effort has been spent.
Sometimes it's hard to understand
Why you're being made to stay
In situation so unhealthy,
Can't take another day
(Chorus)
I think of Jonah in these hours
Told to preach to violent men
It went against all of his logic,
To obey the Lord right then.
But when the Father moves us somewhere
We may not understand,
He always has a purpose,
It's according to His plan.
(Verse 2)
Life has an odd way of showing me
That the universe is big and I am small
Just when I think I'm grounded,
The storms arrive and take it all.
Family members lost and other hardships
Seems like it's just a tall tale,
But tossed into the raging sea
I end up in the belly of a whale.
(Chorus)
I think of Jonah in these hours
Told to preach to violent men
It went against all of his logic,
To obey the Lord right then.
But when the Father moves us somewhere
We may not understand,
He always has a purpose,
It's according to His plan.
(Bridge)
His ways can be mysterious,
His plans above our heads
But if we trust His perfection
He'll raise us from the dead
(Verse 3)
After Jonah finally realized
He wasn't in control,
He obeyed the Lord's command,
And saved Ninevah's souls.
It's hard to trust what can't be seen,
It's hard to sit and wait.
It's hard to know to stay or go,
That's why we call it faith.
(Chorus)
I think of Jonah in these hours
Told to preach to violent men
It went against all of his logic,
To obey the Lord right then.
But when the Father moves us somewhere
We may not understand,
He always has a purpose,
It's according to His plan.
(Chorus)
Think of Jonah in those hours
When you haven't got a clue
Just what the Lord is saying,
Or what He'd have you do.
Remember He is faithful,
He'll never let us stray
He knows just what He's doing,
Be humble and obey.
Be humble and obey,
Be humble and obey,
His plans are always perfect,
So be humble and obey.
