Oh Jonah, oh Niniveh,
What does mercy mean?
Retracted, rescinded
Cast down to cinders
Do we ever escape the past?

Oh Jesus, oh Pharisees,
Of what is faith a-made?
Temples and idols
Incense, obsession
Watch as the people fast

Sins of the father
Sins of the mother
When will the son be free?
Wrath and grace
Those strange bedmates
When will the Son free me?
