WHAT IF







A "Warm-N-Cozy" Greeting


WHAT IF

Jonah, by God, to Nineveh was sent
"Preach to the people and tell them to repent"
But Jonah disobeyed; upped and turned tail
Took to the sea and ended up in a whale

Such a lot of people dwelt in that great city there
They needed to be saved but Jonah didn't care
But he was taught a lesson and God's word was heard
And the people repented and the whole city was spared

Oh what if there was no preacher with love or concern
To tell you of sin and from evil to turn
Empty pulpits everywhere; pleading voices are silent
Good news to be delivered but no messenger is sent

No one to tell you of Jesus and His wonderful love
Of forgiveness and healing and a home up above
Of the glory of Heaven and the awfulness of Hell
Oh what would you do if there was no one to tell?

What if each Sunday you turned your radio on
No gospel programmes broadcast and forever are gone
Silence on the air; nothing can you hear
Not even a gospel song or poem comes to your ear

How the people of Nineveh must have rejoiced
For the preacher returned and God's message was voiced
They repented and were spared for his words they heeded
But for them to hear the Gospel a preacher was needed

Despise not then the preaching of the Word
Or those who present to you their Saviour and Lord
Reject God's message and your soul you condemn
But the redeemed will forever rejoice that someone preached to them
