Lyrics

Belly of a Whale
1st verse
Jonah was a prophet who served God in days of old who
Ended up doing just the opposite of what he was told
So in order for God to get his attention, He sent a great storm to bring about conviction
And Jonah found himself being swallowed by a whale whole
Chorus
Sometimes before you get to where you’re going God allows obstacles in our way
To keep us moving in the right direction or help to keep from being led astray
So if you’re like a Jonah and you’re running pay attention to the story that I tell
Sometimes before you get to where you’re going
You might be spending time in the belly of a whale
2nd verse
Maybe you’re like Jonah and you’re running just the same
Making up excuses finding fault and who’s to blame
So in order for God to get your attention
The storm that you’re in might just be an intervention
To turn you around and get you back on the right way
