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...)
