Jonah, Job And Moses

They were solid as a rock and stubborn as a stone

Honest to the core and ornery to the bone

And the Good Book says

Their lot in life was not a bed of roses

For Jonah, Job and Moses.

Now Jonah knew the darkness in the belly of a whale

And Job saw tribulation and Moses went through hell

There were tears and fears and heartaches

In big and bigger doses

For Jonah, Job and Moses.

And me, I'm just a struggling soul

Ten thousand years removed

I've been lost out in the desert

I've been swallowed and consumed

And I pray to God for patience

Make me more like those three

Help me survive my troubles

Let me join that band of brothers

Let it be Jonah, Job, Moses and me.

I've battled with some demons and I've lost the ones I've loved

I shook my fist at Jesus and I could not rise above

It was in the anger of those hours

I came to feel the closest

To Jonah, Job and Moses

'Cause me, I'm just a struggling soul

Ten thousand years removed

I've been lost out in the desert

I've been swallowed and consumed

And I pray to God for patience

Make me more like those three

Help me survive my troubles

Let me join that band of brothers

Let it be Jonah, Job, Moses and me.

Lord, let it be Jonah, Job, Moses and me.

They were solid as a rock

And stubborn as a stone.
