It’s not a secret
It’s not a fairytale
It’s not made up
Jonas was in a whale
Three whole days (One, Two, Three)
The greatest treasure
The Word God’s people wrote
It’s in the Bible
Where Noah built a boat
And it rained and rained
The rainbow’s in the sky
To show God’s promises are true
The rainbow’s in the sky
To show the world
He’s the only way for your everyday
