Story behind the song
The background of the song comes from Jonah 2 and from the book of Job. It is the struggling in the pit or the depths of self and the supplication of Jonah against self. shalom.
Lyrics
Chorus (Sing) In the belly of the fish In the belly of the whale Oh!!! In the belly of the fish In the belly of the whale: In the belly of the Leviathan [Leviathan, leviathan] Ay Jonah prayed in the belly of the Leviathan (repeat entire phrase) Leviathan In the belly of the whale In the belly of the fish: Leviathan, on In the belly of the whale In the belly of the whale In the belly of the Leviathan Verse 1 (Rap) Yeah Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD out of the fish's belly, And said, I cry by reason of mine affliction oh Holy LORD. He heard me out of the belly of hell cried I: that you heard my voice is a great great great great sight to my eyes! And now you have delivered me from the deep: In the midst of the seas:the floods compassed all I could see is billows your waves passed over me I'm cast out of your sight and yet I will look Today towards your holy temple's light ight. (Based on Jonah 2:1-4) Chorus (Sing) In the belly of the whale In the belly of the Leviathan [Leviathan, Leviathan] In the belly of the fish In the belly of the whale In the belly of the [of the] Leviathan Leviathan. Verse 2 (Rapso styl INVALID ) Oh yes Lord The waters compassed me about, even to my soul: the depths closed me round about, the weeds they wrapped up my whole being. I went to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars were about me: I never knew that they'll be no light for eternity O LORD. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, from your holy ward. (Jonah 2:5-8) In the belly of the (Sing) Leviathan Leviathan Leviathan Verse 3 (Rapso) In the belly of the ... But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; (Talk) I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD. And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land. (Jonah 2:9-10) (Sing) He came up and I come out to see the light of day from the belly of the Leviathan Leviathan I came out to see Your better way from my pit from my slip from myself today I'm soo glad Lord I'm so glad Lord!!!!

Really like the vocal, it has a soft sound, contrasting with the harder lyric in chorus, and then the R&B keyboard sounds softens the song again, all making for a good song that grooves along nicely!!!

Wow the musical backing is fantastic and the vocals are brilliant too. Reminds me a lot of R Kelly. The singing towards the end of the song was very special.

Another great tune...wow Mr.Grant knows what he is doing! the musical backer is fantastic!!! I like the message and of course your vocals Anson, but some of the verses are a bit hard to understand in the beginning.and its not how you are singing or volume etc, its just that your voice is so smooth and the music also and they mix too well together lol.seriously! I think it would have more power if you tried singing with more grit or find someone with a gritty or more..........hmmm?maybe rhaspy sound.....again guys the song is wonderful... and I always love your singing,just keeping it real and giving a loving suggestion . I have tons of tunes that my voice just don't work well on so again, don't take this wrong :) and for God's sake keep doing what your doing! :) Peace
