lyrics

Jonah 2:2-9
-
V1:
I called out unto the Lord
In the throes of my deep distress
From the depths of hell I cried
And you heard my feeble voice
For You cast me into the deep
In the heart of the raging seas
And the flood surrounded me
All Your waves passed over me

CHORUS:
With the voice of thanksgiving I
Will sacrifice to You
Ever while I am living I'll
Do what I said I'd do
For salvation belongs to You

V2:
The waters closed over me
I sank to the mountains feet
A prisoner of the earth
Where the gates lock shut forever
Then I said, "I am cast away,
But I know to Whom I pray."
When my lungs drew my last breath
You snatched me from the jaws of death

Bridge:
I won't turn my back on God's mercy
No, I won't turn my back on God's mercy
Oh, don't turn you back on God's mercy
No, don't turn you back on God's mercy
