[VERSE 1]
C            C9sus     C        Am              F      C
Nineveh, oh, Nin - e - veh, the Lord is turning toward you 
C                  C9sus     C   Am                F      C
Compassion or ca - lam - i - ty, will you heed the warn - ing 

[CHORUS 1]
F                   Am
Fall on your knees, tear down your idols 
C                          G
When you choose surrender, you choose survival 
F                 Am
Call on His Name, turn from your violence 
C                 G
Out of the ashes, He will revive you 

[POST-CHORUS]
F  G  Am  C           G   F  G  Am  C           G
          God have mercy            God have mercy

[VERSE 2]
  C              C9sus    C      Am                  F     C
I know You are a gracious God, I know You’re slow to ang - er 
    C         C9sus      C     Am                  F     C
But I misunderstood Your love, forgive me God for  run - ning 

[CHORUS 2]
F                Am
You sent a wind, stirred up the ocean 
C                    G
Still I rebelled, my heart wasn’t open 
F                  Am
But when I prayed, You were there waiting 
C               G
I made a vow to speak your salvation 

[INTERLUDE]
C            C9sus     C        Am              F      C
Nineveh, oh, Nin - e - veh, the Lord is turning toward you

In his body bore my sin, now to all who trust in Him

God has mer - cy, God has mer - cy on us
