THE BIBLE IS A BOOK OF LOVE

Photo by Mrs4duh

THE B-I-B-L-E, IS A BOOK OF HISTORY WITH TWISTED PLOTS,
HE LOVES ME NOTS
AND LOTS OF MYSTERY.

Photo by Mrs4duh

There are monsters from the deep
Dead men rising from their sleep
Animals that talk
and walking giants.

Photo by Mrs4duh

​Yes the Bible is a book of knowledge
​The Bible is a book of law
​And you’re liable to be lost without it
​‘Cause most of all the Bible is a book of love.

Photo by Mrs4duh

The B-I-B-L-E, is book of prophecy
With shepherd’s songs and Solomon’s proverbialites

Photo by Mrs4duh

There is music and romance
There are songs to make you dance
And lessons that can best be learned in rhyme.

​Yes the Bible is a book of knowledge
​The Bible is a book of law
​And you’re liable to be lost without it
​‘Cause most of all the Bible is a book of love.

Photo by Mrs4duh

The B-I-B-L-E, is a book of prophecy
With men and women saying “turn to God immediately!”

Photo by Mrs4duh

Fingers writing on the wall
Dreamers dreaming in the hall
With miracles and chariots of fire.

​Yes the Bible is a book of knowledge
​The Bible is a book of law
​And you’re liable to be lost without it
​‘Cause most of all the Bible is a book of love.

The B-I-B-L-E, yes that’s the book for me.
The Bible is a book of love!

Zoe: Mycayla! Just look how big this place is!
Mycayla: Yeah, they say this museum really makes the Bible come to life.
Zoe: That’s great. ‘Cause you know, I’m going to be a missionary.
Mycayla: Yep, I know.

Xander: Oh brother.
DeAndre: What’s the matter?
Xander: Here comes JD.
Zoe: Uh, I can’t stand him!
Sebastian: Who can?

JD: Hey Xandy, why didn’t you sit with me on the bus? ‘Fraid I’d hit you, like this?
Zoe: Stop it JD, or I’ll tell the teacher.
JD: Oh yeah?
Zoe: Yeah.
JD: Oh Yeah?
Zoe: Yeah!

JJ: Hi! Six in this group?
Xander: No! Just five!
JJ: Sorry, but we try to have 6 kids in each group. Follow me.
JD: Ooh, Xandy, it’s gonna be you and me after all!
DeAndre: Just ignore him, Xander. That’s what I do.
Sebastian: Yeah.

JJ: Welcome to the Museum of the Bible. My name is JJ, and I’ll be your guide. Today we start our tour with the hall of prophets. (starts to lead them off)

JD: Shoo, what’s that smell?
JJ: Oh, it’s the exhibit on Jonah. We’re simulating the smell inside the belly of the whale.
JD: That’s a relief. I thought it was Mycayla’s breath.
Mycayla: You are so lame!
DeAndre: JJ, could you tell us about Jonah?
Xander: Yeah, start with his story.

Photo by *Tom*

JJ: Well, this exhibit’s not quite finished, but let’s use our imaginations.
(music cue) The year is 650 B.C. and the place is Israel. And the word of the Lord came to Jonah…

All/Chorus (one holding open scroll):


Go to Nineveh!

Go go Jonah, Go Jonah, go go.
Go go Jonah, Go Jonah go go (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
Go, Go Jonah Go. Go, Go Jonah Go. (group 2)

Go down to Ninevah,
tell them to sin no more.
Go, go Jonah Go.

Go go Jonah, Go Jonah, go go.
Go go Jonah, Go Jonah go go (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
Go, Go Jonah Go. Go, Go Jonah Go. (group 2)

God watches over you, do what he tells you to.
Go, go Jonah go!

Fellow get up,
follow the Lord
He will guide your way.
You tell ‘em about trusting Him
When it's you
who obeys!

Go go Jonah, Go Jonah, go go.
Go go Jonah, Go Jonah go go (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
Go, Go Jonah Go. Go, Go Jonah Go. (group 2)

(All, spoken)

to Nineveh!
 


JJ:  But Jonah didn’t go.
 
(Jonah turns away, crosses arms, and shakes his head emphatically)
 

JD:  Eh, he was probably a wimp like Xandy here.
Zoe:  No JD, the Ninevites were probably cruel and mean like you!
JD:  Oooohhh!
JJ:  As a matter of fact, Zoe, the Ninevites were bitter enemies of Israel… along with the Hittites, the Ammonites, the Amalekites, the Moabites…

Photo by *Tom*

Mycayla:  Don’t forget the mosquito bites!
JJ:  Probably them, too.  But the Ninevites were the worst.  They were barbarians who’d skin people alive, then torture and burn them.
DeAndre:  Oh no! Why does God allow people like that?
Xander:  Yeah, why didn’t God just get rid of Nineveh, like He did Sodom and Gomorrah?
JJ:  Well, God is sovereign – that means He can do anything He wants – but what God really wanted was to get rid of Nineveh’s sin.  

Photo by *Tom*

Sebastian:  It sounds like Jonah’s got a problem.  If he goes to Nineveh, he might get…
JD:  Barbecued! (Zoe & others glare at him)
DeAndre:  I think I’d just send ‘em some Bibles or some youtube videos or something.
JJ:  Well, that would’ve been the safest things to do, but the Lord told Jonah…

Photo by *Tom*

All/Chorus (with scroll):  

Go to Nineveh!  
 
(Jonah looks at the audience and shakes his head emphatically again)

JJ: (after music cue)  But Jonah didn’t.  And when you disobey God, you’re always going in the wrong direction.

No no Jonah, No Jonah, no no.
No no Jonah, no Jonah no no (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
No, no Jonah no.  No, no Jonah no.  (group 2)

Don’t go to Tarshish town, God said go up not down.
No, no Jonah No.

No no Jonah, No Jonah, no no.
No no Jonah, no Jonah no no (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
No, no Jonah no.  No, no Jonah no.  (group 2)

Fellow get up, follow the Lord
He will guide your way.
You tell ‘em about trusting Him
When it’s you who obeys.

No no Jonah, No Jonah, no no.
No no Jonah, no Jonah no no (group 1 repeat 2 more times)
No, no Jonah no.  No, no Jonah no.  (group 2)
