You spoke to me, I heard you to go and preach, but I ran from you I thought I could run away, But you came for me In the crashing waves, Oh the storm showed me I can't escape your presence I cannot run from you I said I knew, and feared you God But even pagans saw, that I did not So they tossed me in the sea, I sank into the deep but even there I could see
2.
I cried to you because of my affliction You answered me, you heard me You cast me into the deep into the heart of the seas and the floods they surrounded me and your waves passed over me But I know salvation is from you Lord Yes I know salvation is from you Lord Your hand is not weak to save Yes you will deliver me For I know salvation is from you Lord Down to the roots of the mountains I went into the darkness, straight to my death But you gave me breath You raised me up, my heart is full of thanks For you are my God When my soul was faint I called upon your name You came to me, You lifted me

Interlude 01:42
You spoke to me once again But this time I did not run I went and said Forty days to turn away Forty day for this city to repent of your wickedness to worship God and confess That He alone is God above That He alone is worthy of all the praise from every man let every nation understand That He alone is God Yes He alone is God The king of Nineveh spoke to all the people he told let us fast and pray, who can tell if God will turn the wrath that we deserve oh may he have mercy Oh come and sing with me

Should I Not 03:19
You ran from me, I saved you You tried to flee, I was with you I heard your prayers, I sent you here So you can see, My mercy Yet your mad at me For saving them? But when its' you is it different? Should I not have mercy? In your wrath, I showed you grace Your heart was hot, but I gave you shade I took it away, and you complained you cherished death, rather than grace? are you right to be angry with me? You knew I was a God of mercy But when I save you You give thanks to me So I ask you Should I not have mercy?
