No I won't go

Taken from Jonah

No I won’t go

I won’t I will flee

run away I will not

do this what you ask

because I know what

you will do when they

repent you will forgive

you will relent and not

destroy them let me turn

my face to the rock

and die. I cannot

face your compassion

for the undeserving

I cannot countenance

your forbearance and

you ask me if with

your great heart if you

should care let me die

in the heat let me die

in the sun
