Three Days Down but it wasn’t to Drown

I've been down to Joppa and paid the fare 
On a boat bound for Spain leaving all that I care  

Running from right, asleep in the night 
The storm that rages is my wages

The lot has been cast it is I at last
Throw me in the sea let the storm swallow me

Sinking, sinking into the darkness of the deep
I close my eyes and embrace eternal sleep

Saved by a great fish for that was God’s wish

Three days down but it wasn’t to drown
Lord help me!  From the pit I raise my hand
You heard my cry and brought me up to dry land

Inspired from Jonah chapter 1
