It Cannot Be

No, it cannot be! Your messages are meant for me and my brothers
We are Your chosen people
And Nineveh, well, they’re not!

There must be some mistake, abig misunderstanding. It’s really hard to take, how could You be so demanding?

For years I’ve been Your messenger from Moresheth to Gath; but Nineveh should get no chance to turn, they’ve earned Your wrath.

No, it cannot be! Your messages are meant for me and my brothers
We are Your chosen people
And Nineveh, well, they’re not!

We’re the good guys and they’re the bad guys! Please don’t send me there with a message of Your mercy!

Damascus or Jerusalem, I’ll be there in a minute. Any town in Israel, just ask me, I’ll be in it!

Shiloh, Gilgal, Jericho, just say the word. But Nineveh? That is just absurd. Joppah, Aphek, Jezreel, they’re all just fine!

But Nineveh? Oh, Nineveh, no
Nineveh is where I draw the line!

No, it cannot be
Your messages are meant for me…
