Lyrics[]
Jonah was a prophet, he had a job to do,
Go to Nineveh and teach, but Jonah said "Teach who?"
He didn't wanna go, instead he ran the other way,
Jonah jumped aboard a ship, and sailed it far away
The wind blew hard, a mighty storm came through,
The seamen and the captain did not know what to do
They called out to Jonah, "We will surely die,"
"Toss me overboard," said Jonah with a cry.
Jonah went on a journey, but did he really know?
God wants us to follow him wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day
Thrown into the waters, he tried his best to swim,
And when the storm had passed, a fish had swallowed him
Jonah sat inside the fish, and he began to pray,
Hoping for salvation to be granted on that day
Jonah got another chance because of God's love,
He showed them grace and mercy and kindness from above
The grey fish bit Jonah, out upon the ground,
Jonah had a second chance to spread God's love around
Jonah went on a journey, but did he really know?
God wants us to follow him wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day
"Jonah please obey, trust in what I say."
God asked his servant Jonah in His very special way
On to Nineveh, he went, preaching what God said,
Serving God by teaching, His Word to all was spread
The king said, "God is loved, give up your evil ways,"
The people asked forgiveness and prayed to God for days
God showed them compassion, He wants to help them out,
He is a loving God that cares, even when we doubt
Jonah went on a journey, but did he really know?
God wants us to follow him wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day
Jonah got quite angry, he could not understand,
He left the great city and doubted God's plan
God provided him with shade, and Jonah was so pleased,
He sat and waited judgment on the city in a breeze
He wasn't very happy when a worm came up and ate
The vine that God had given him to sit beside and wait
"Why are you angry?" God wanted to know
"I care about my people who need to learn and grow."
Jonah went on a journey, but did he really know?
God wants us to follow him wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day
Jonah went on a journey, but did he really know?
God wants us to follow him wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day

- During the fourth chorus, the lyrics in the music video are different from the album lyrics. They are as follows:
Jonah went on a journey, but didn't really know
We can share God's words with those wherever we may go
Walk, walk, walk with God, walking in God's way
We can learn to do what's right every single day
