Jonah's song

So many things You have taught me Lord
So many trials You have brought me through.
How many times have I left Your herd?
How many times have I hurt You?

Through every season You lead the way
Even when I am stubborn and drag my feet
I know that You speak. I just need to obey.
Go to ninivah and new people I will meet.

To tell of Your love and mercy and grace
I should not run away or try to hide
But to them I should race and show them Your face
To bring into Your flock, Your body, Your bride.

Why do I fear to do what You say?
Make an excuse to go another place?
I know it is tough, but You made a way.
I need only to trust and seek Your face

So show me Lord so that I might obey
Show me I plead as I long to please You
Show me where to go and give the words to say
Let me honor You in all that I do.
