Judgement Denied

How could You do this to me
You heard our people's cries
You spared our enemy
Declaring their judgment denied

I went to Nineveh as You asked
And preached of their impending doom
So how can You spare them now
I thought that You would come through

So how can You spare them now
I thought that You would come through
So how can You spare them now
I thought that You would come through

Murderers, theives, liars, repeat
Their judgement is due
They live to mock You
Murderers, theives, liars, repeat
Their judgement is due
They live to mock You

I've dealt with your resistance, yet released you from the beast
Your lack of compassion and obedience has yet to have ceased
Who are you to command damnation of another's soul
I am Alpha and Omega, the one who has made you whole

This is why I ran away
Please just take my life
I would rather die
Than see their judgement denied

Once again from Your presence
I've left and turned away
I rest beneath a shelter
You shade me with grace

But You send worms to destroy it
What is it You want me to see

Woe unto you, Jonah, I've made my point very clear
As you grovel in the dirt wishing to die
Shouldn't I spare the children of Nineveh
So young and innocent they don't even know their left from their right

This is why you ran away
Should I take your life
Would you rather die
Than see their judgement denied
