There I was, a Prophet of God

I didn't want to go explain to them Gods mercy

I had my reasons

I said, hey man have you got a ticket to Tarshish

That was the first mistake

I was spending my money on something God didn't want me to

It all boils down to disobedience you know



All that God had asked of me, was that I warn them all to flee

To flee from the Wrath to Come, but I wouldn't, man I was dumb

What if it had not been done for me, and I went off to flee

To Tarshish to leave them dead, and what I thought inside my head was

God can't find me now



And then it came, a gnarly storm

I knew it was God

I told the sailors, throw me over

And they said What?

I thought, man if it were Christians they probably wouldn't hesitate

And they said, No man, were going to help you out

And I said, hey man, it's God, throw me over



Into death I went, God's mercy alone could save my neck

I'll tell you man, I don't deserve it, that is Grace, you'd better learn it

Dead but on the third day, resurrected, a sign, catch it man

But on the way, into the death, this is what I prayed and said

God please find me now



Mercy and Grace

This is what God wants from you and me

Love acceptance and forgiveness

As he did for us, you see I was dead

Mercy and Grace

He's a God of second chances

Don't be out of the will
