JONAH'S DEFENSE
I am worthy.
I am a man of principals.
I rise by first light and work over creation.
I rule the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field.
I rule the weak because the Lord made me strong.
I entertain no regrets.
I deliver the justice of the Lord.
I wash blood from my hands for the sake of the kingdom.
I decide who is worthy.
I see your heart.
I see your wicked deeds.
I weigh them on the scales of righteousness.
I offer you a sword in one hand and redemption in the other.
I kill no one who is worthy to live.
I will escape this land and return to the place I belong.
I will return to my people, my family.
I am a king.
I am a ruler.
I am a warrior.
I am called to brave the seas alone.
I wait for the Lord to send me a good tide.
I wait for the Lord to recognize his beloved son, the king.
I follow the instructions of the Lord.
I deserve the love of the Lord.
I am a man of principals.
I am worthy.
