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