JONAH Song 

This was written by Iona Shackelford.

(Shake finger:  JONAH SHOULD HAVE OBEYED)

 Jonah was a preacher, 
and God told him one day.
“Jonah, go a-preaching.
Folks need to know my way.” 

 

Jonah said, “Oh, No!”
And ran away to hide
Out on a sailing ship
Out on the ocean wide!
JONAH SHOULD HAVE OBEYED!!   

 
God made up a great big storm.
The winds went “Woo - oo - oo”.
Jonah told the sailors
just what they should do. 

 

They threw him in the sea
with a great big swish!
And down in that deep water
he was swallowed by a fish!
JONAH SHOULD HAVE OBEYED!!

 

Jonah learned a lesson.
He really had a scare.
He learned he couldn’t hide
from God who’s everywhere.

 

 God told that big fish
to put Jonah on dry land.
Jonah was so glad!
Now he could understand…
IT’S BEST TO OBEY!!! 

SONG Resources

SONG Resources for "Fish Class" Parents


These are some of the songs we sing in class.  We want you to be able to sing these at home too, so we are providing you with resources to do that.

The links below will help you if you don't know the tunes. 

• “Old Testament Song”
  
• "New Testament Song" - There is a very short ad first.
  
• New Testament Song + from Cedarmont Kids
  
• "Creation Song" - We have our own version of this song, so this is just for the tune.
• "He Has the Whole World in His Hands" - This song really begins like this, "He's got."  I changed it to be grammatically correct.  I don't want to teach anything knowing that any part of it is wrong.
• "Fruit of the Spirit" - We don't do the grapes verse or the hand motions for the chorus.  After you have heard the introduction, you may want to just skip to 2:50 for the start of the song.
• The "12 Apostles Song" uses the "Jesus Loves Me" tune.

 The links below are the lyrics and pictures for the songs.  We will also give you print copies.

• New Testament Books of the Bible
• Creation Song
• He's Got the Whole Word in His Hands - short ad first
  

 

Song Lyrics and Melodies for Sunday School Resource

 

My God is so Great - Use hand motions that go with lyrics

My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do.
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do.

The mountains are his, the rivers are his, the stars are His handiwork, too.
My God is so great, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do, for you!

All was dark.
