didn’t want to preach to the Nineveh horde;
his ship was caught in a mighty gale;
Jonah wound up in the belly of a whale.
The Lord told Jonah, “You silly man,
you can’t hide when I’ve got a plan;
the Ninevites are my children, too,
and that is why I have chosen you!”
You can run, but you sure can’t hide
for God’s will won’t be denied;
he’ll seek you out like a heavenly hound,
for God’s will is salvation bound.
The Lord found Elijah trembling in a cave
trying to hide from that Jezebel babe;
the Lord said, “Elijah whatcha doing here?
Come on out, you’ve got nothing to fear.”
God sent an earthquake and a violent storm,
the rocks were split and the hills were shorn,
after the fire came a soothing noise,
the quiet whisper of God’s gentle voice:
“You can run, but you sure can’t hide
for My will won’t be denied,
I’ll seek you out like a heavenly hound,
for My will is salvation bound.”
Now all you folks just take it from me
you can hide, but our God will seek;
God won’t rest ‘til he’s found each one
and brought us all to his heavenly home.
You can run, but you sure can’t hide
for God’s will won’t be denied,
he’ll seek you out like a heavenly hound,
for God’s will is salvation bound.
