Verse:1
GCG
In the Bible we are told of a prophet to us called
D
To the city steeped in awful sin
GCG
All the people in that place were devoid of saving grace
DG
And the prophet seamed to pray to enter In
CG
Then the prophet forth was sent that all Neneve might repent
D
But instead of that catharsis he set sail
GCG
All the winds began to blow overboard did Jonah throw
DG
And he found a mercy seat inside the Whale
Chorus:
GCG
Over There over There in that land so bright and fair
D
We'll tell them all about it over there
GCG
In that halleluiah land I'll take Jonah by the hand
DG
And we'll tell them all about it over there
Verse:2
CG
In the cold and brighted beat tears of grief did Jonah weep
D
And the big fish threw him out upon the shore
GCG
Then he quickly went his way preached to Nenevee night and day
DG
Cause he did not bear to backslide any more
Verse:3
GCG
Now some people don't believe that a whale could himreceive
D
But still that doesn't prove my song untrue
GCG
There are whales on every side with their big mouth openwide
DG
Take care my friend that one don't swallow you
Verse:4
GCG
Many souls are tossed about by the whales of fear and doubt
D
But the savior wants to take them by the hand
GCG
If you will his voice avaide he will save you right away
DG
And lead you over to that promise land
