Just like Jonah

Lately I've made some bad decisions for myself

Trying to do things on my own , not wanting to look up for help

In the process of hurting myself, as well as others

I created a negative foundation around

Thinking as long as I hold my head up that I'll never hit the ground

But, now I'm Just Like Jonah, in the whale's mouth, looking for a way out

Lord I heard you speak, but I was afraid and even had doubt

I should have taken the righteous route

I'm still holding on to somethings of my past

Spending my life pleasing others making myself last

Struggling with family matters and worldly thoughts

Putting my spiritual life at a haught

Surely goodness and mercies will follow me all my days

But not if I haven't took out time to pray

I want to be with Christ in the sky

I want to live and not die

But, now I'm Just like Jonah, looking for a way out

praying unto you every night

Because I've been cast out of your sight

With prayers of sincerity and a spririt of gain

My walk with you this time won't be in vain

You see, Just like Jonah I'll get a second chance

to rejoice in the Lord and dance
