Brotherly Love
That Jonah, the one in the whale, as from God he tried to run
Being tossed from his sail he pretty much thought he was done
Finally after three long days the whale spit him towards shore
And no matter what anyone says this is what happened for sure
Now he had a three day trip ahead, Johan made that trip in one
Going to the King of Nineveh to plead for the city to repent
And they did, till the second Generation, but there Jonah did sit
Waiting to see the fall of a nation in still feeling Nineveh was a pit
It was hot on that distant hill funny how that big gourd just grew
Almost giving him a slight chill a new love like he never knew
Then the worm ate it from the inside and he lost such an accord
Jonah sat there and cried, not for Nineveh, but that stupid gourde
I have no gourde by my side but it is here that I do sit and wait
But oh! how often I have cried in the knowing of mankind's fate
The thief comes in the middle of the night as so are you unprepared
I just pray you come to see the Light and know that someone cared
1 Thessalonians 4:9
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you:
for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another
