What depths of soul does Jonah know,
when forced to face the lesson of the hard commands?
Now heed the words of the smallest strand in the mighty cable that you hold within your hands:
there is no ship so big, that you can slip away to a country where I don’t reign.
There is nowhere I don't reign.
So, obey! Listen to me.
And now the tide has come, it’s time to slip the docks and head out to the open sea...
I know you won’t confess yourself suspected, as a fugitive is known to be.
But on the starboard hand of every woe, is sure delight...if you delight in me.
There is nowhere I don't reign.
So, obey! Listen to me.
(Jonah, don't you run...)

The Sleeper and the Sea
07:46

Fast asleep, and going the wrong way,
I now will bring the water and the wave,
There is work still left, for you undone,
There is nowhere left for you to run.
Jonah, can't you see...the Sleeper and the Sea belong to me.
(Stay away! I am going my own way!)
Jonah, don't you see...the Sleeper and the Sea belong to me.
(I refuse to go where you are sending me! I don't want to go where you are taking me!
So, stay away! I am going my own way!)
Oh Jonah, don't you run...

Wake up, Sleeper, now...what do you mean?
A mighty tempest has just caught us clean
Get up now, call out unto your God
He may hear us, or give us a thought
Cast out lots to have them fall on you
We demand to know what we are through
Now call out to God and save us still!
When he hears your voice, perhaps He will!
Perhaps He will...
We've rowed hard to try and get us home
Tossing cargo just to lighten load
Now call out to God and save us still!
When He hears your voice, perhaps He will!
Perhaps He will...

Into the Sea

I was a stowaway in name, by my design
Already paid my way to shuttle me from prying eyes
Safely tucked away, and fast asleep below
Now I hear the winds that will surely come and break the bow, so
Cast your lots tonight and let them fall out free
I'm looking for a harbor that will shelter me
And if you knew exactly what I'm doing here,
You'd throw me right into the sea
It is on my account these things have come to pass
The tempest draweth near and surely we will never last
I greatly fear the Lord and Him who brings me low
It is because of me that you are forced to reconcile, so
Cast your lots tonight and let them fall them out free
I'm looking for a harbor that will shelter me
And if you knew exactly what I'm doing here,
You'd throw me right into the sea

(Oh, Jonah)
In recognition of your steadfast Love,
The waters came to swallow me above.
The mighty billows passing over me,
Have brought me to the belly of the beast.
In recognition of your steadfast Love,
The waters came to swallow me above.
Remembering the Lord upon this day,
And what I vowed is now what I will pay.
(Oh, Jonah)

Jonah go and overlook, the city laid before
Proclaim the word I give you now, nothing less or more
Overthrown in forty days, unless they turn to me
I desire every heart, and every thought and deed
In the mind of every man, have I laid my Word
The hardened hearts of Ninevah have turned from what they heard
Overthrown in forty days, unless they hear my voice
I desire mercy, I desire sacrifice
Jonah, go and tell them
Jonah, go and tell them I AM here
I desire every heart, I will make a Way for them to find me
I know every broken heart, I know that their minds are foreign to me
Jonah go and tell the words, tell them all the things you know about me
Jonah, go and don't you fear: I will give you everything you need
For I AM here

Three Days' Journey

I don't know how to love a heart that's cold
especially, a heart that's unlike my own
but in forty days, He will come to separate
the one that's near from the one that's far away
there is a difference between
the heart of stone and heart of clay
a difference unseen to all, except from the One who made
so, I don't know how I thought that I could run
from his hand, that sent me here to tell you now
so, listen please...and turn your eyes toward the Son
He rescued me, He rescues all His chosen ones
there is a difference between
the heart of stone and heart of clay
a difference unseen to all, except from the One who made
He knows the difference
I was like you and I always held on to the difference
nothing is new, and He always chooses the righteous
turn from your ways and surrender your days to the difference
open your heart and submit your will to the difference
He knows the difference
