Bible Note: I came across song and was compelled to share it with those who may not be aware of it. Providentally, it fits quite well with the current topic (Jonah). you may find the melody song on you tube. ps I was not able to find the name of the writer. Hoppy The Hornet Song When the Canaanites hardened their hearts against God, And grieved Him because of their sin, God sent along hornets to bring them to terms, And to help His own people to win. If a nest of live hornets were brought to this room, And the creatures allowed to go free, You would not need urging to make yourself scarce, You’d want to get out, don’t you see! They would not lay hold and by force of their strength, Throw you out of the window, oh, no! They would not compel you to go against your will, But they would just make you willing to go. When Jonah was sent to the work of the Lord, The outlook was not very bright. He never had done such a hard thing before, So he backed and ran off from the fight. Now, the Lord sent a gteat fish to swallow him up, The story I am sure you all know. God did not compel him to go against his will, But He just made him willing to go. CHORUS: God does not compel us to go, oh, no! He never compels us to go. God does not compel us to go against our will, But He just makes us willing to go. |
