Awake Jonah Churches! by DianaDee Osborne

AWAKE  JONAH  CHURCHES!
ALBUM:      Amazing Holy Spirit 'n' Church
Song location:   http://DianaDeeosborneSongs.com/NEW-Songs.php
Song Story:  THE  MUSIC:
          The familiar story:  I just sat at the home studio and played with loops &  created 3 different melodies for the 3 movements to fit the mood.... and this music “just  came out” within 3 hours--- all tracks.  The Holy Spirit's gifting, I  confidently declare.
Dedicated to The One that the Church SHOULD be reflecting (2nd Corinthians 3:18):
Jesus God's Son and true Head of the Church (not people), 21 July  2012

LYRICS

1
Jonah slept while blasting storm  tossed.
Jonah slept on the ship to Tarshish.
Jonah slept while the crew feared loss of ALL their lives.
Jonah slept while the men all cried out in fear, to false gods.
Jonah slept while they realized:  Jonah's God might save LIFE.
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SLEEPER?!”  they cried.
“WAKE UP,   PRAY FOR US TO YOUR GOD!”

CHORUS
WAKE, O SLEEPING  CHURCH OF GOD!
Ephesians 5:  14.
Like Jonah, how CAN we sleep?   
Without Jesus, people perish!
WAKE, O SLEEPING  CHURCH OF GOD!          
Ephesians 3:  20.
Pray together for God's power, THEN boldly preach salvation!

2
Jonah slept while Life's storm tossed,
in bed while perishing people cried.
Like Jonah --- do WE  sleep behind walls while
people who don't know Jesus die?
Jesus said that JONAH WAS REAL ......
    Matthew 12:   39,  on.

How can The Church let people die 

while  we stay behind church walls?
    “WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SLEEPER  CHURCH ?!”   they cry!
    “WAKE UP,  TEACH  US  HOW   TO FIND GOD!”   
CHORUS
WAKE, O SLEEPING  CHURCH OF GOD!
Ephesians 5:  14.
Like Jonah, how CAN we sleep?   
Without Jesus, people perish!
WAKE, O SLEEPING  CHURCH OF GOD!          
Ephesians 3:  20.
Pray together for God's power, 
THEN boldly preach salvation!

God's SUPPORTING WORDS:

EPHESIANS 5: 14, 16:  Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."..."redeeming the time, because the days are evil..."
JESUS IN JOHN 4:35  CONCERNING CALL TO THE CHURCH TO SHARE GOD'S NEWS:
"Do you not say, 'There are still four months and [then] comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!
