Well my mind go back to a story in the bible days (you can't run, you can't hide)

One day God called a man by name of Jonah (you can't run, you can't hide)

Said, nigh Jonah I want you to go down to place called Nineveh

Tell my people if they don't repent I'll destroy that city

But you know that story Jonah didn't wanna go

So Jonah decide

That he was going down to a place called Joppa

He went on down to the ship yard and he went on down to the ticket office

And got him a ticket

And he was on his way to a place called Trashish

And he went on down

On the bottom of the deck

Got over in a corner

And went fast to asleep

But what he didn't know

When he laid down

God was looking right at him

God was looking at him

But God didn't bother

All God did Was

He called the wind

And told the wind I want you to blow

And he told thunder I want you to roar

And He lightning I want you to flash and

He told the tides to stand up real high

Cause I gotta child that's trying to run

And think he can hide

And about that time

The captain came around

And told his crew members

To put all the anchors

We gotta get ready

And set for sail

And then they tell me

Thunder started to roar

Lightning started to flash

Tides stood up high

And the wind begin to blow

Captain got confuse

Told all his crew members

Out of all this time

We made this journey

We ain't never

Ain't never had trouble before

Then he told all his crew members

Come on the top deck

Then ask them tell me

Tell me who is your God

Who is your God

Who ever you God is

I want you to call Him

And about that time

Another man came

And said wait a minute captain there's one more man

And he's down stairs

And over in a corner

And he's fast a sleep

Captain said let me go down

I'll see about him

Captain walked over and shook old Jonah

And Jonah stood up

And the captain asked him

How can you sleep and we in a storm

Than he ask him tell me

Who is your God

And Jonah told him

My God is

Father of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob

And the captain said

Call him

And jonah told him

I ain't gotta call him

Ain't gotta call him

He already know

He already know

That I'm trying run

And I'm trying to hide

Said, well now captain

If you want peace on your ship

You got take me on top

And throw me over board

So he took Jonah up

And they threw him over board

And bible tell me

God had a fish prepared for him swallowed him down

In the bottom of its belle

Then turned around

And took down

In the bottom of the sea

But I so glad to night

I'm so glad tonight

I'm so glad tonight

It don't make know difference

How low you get

God can always hear you

If you would just call him

I dare you to call him
