Jonah - Sister Rosetta Tharpe[00:00:00]
Written by:Rosetta Tharpe[00:00:00]
In the bible we are told[00:00:07]
Of a prophet who was called[00:00:10]
To a city that was steeped in awful sin[00:00:14]
All the people in that place[00:00:21]
Were devoid of saving grace[00:00:24]
And the prophet wased afraid to enter in[00:00:28]
Oh some people don't believe[00:00:35]
That a whale could him receive[00:00:38]
But that does not make my song at all untrue[00:00:42]
There are whales on every side[00:00:49]
With their big mouths open wide[00:00:53]
Just take care my friend or one will swallow you[00:00:56]
Then this prophet[00:01:32]
Forth was sent[00:01:34]
That old nineveh[00:01:36]
Might repent[00:01:37]
But instead of that[00:01:39]
To tarshish he set sail[00:01:41]
Oh the winds began to blow[00:01:46]
Overboard did Jonah go[00:01:50]
And he found a Mercy seat[00:01:53]
Inside the whale[00:01:56]
In the cold and briny deep[00:02:01]
Tears of grief did Jonah weep[00:02:04]
And the big fish[00:02:08]
Threw him out upon the shore[00:02:10]
Then he gladly gladly went his way[00:02:15]
Yeah[00:02:17]
Preached to nineveh nineveh night and day[00:02:18]
And he did not care to backslide any more[00:02:22]
Oh some people don't believe[00:02:29]
That a whale could him receive[00:02:33]
But that does not make my song at all untrue[00:02:37]
There are whales[00:02:44]
Whales on every side[00:02:45]
Yeah[00:02:47]
With their big mouths open wide[00:02:48]
Just take care my friend or one will swallow you[00:02:51]
