This week’s featured song story comes to us from Mike Donehey. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Yeshua (Friend Of Sinners).”
“So I was thinking about the verse Romans 2:4. It says do you forget that the kindness of God is meant to lead you to repentance? That’s fascinating because though I know that, I tend to use any other method than kindness to change myself and changes others. And yet God uses His kindness.” – Mike Donehey

“Yeshua (Friend Of Sinners)” Lyrics
Who is this God
Who dares to call my name
Looks in my heart
And doesn’t look away
Knows my secrets and loves me anyway
Who walks on water
And opens up the grave
Yeshua You are a friend of sinners
Your mercy is a cleansing river
Washing over me forever
I am Yours You are mine
Yeshua the one that we call Jesus
Who knows our every
Thought and weakness
The kindness of Your heart it heals us
I am Yours You are mine
Who is this King of glory standing here
To my broken heart is drawing near
In Your presence I can feel a change
Your grace has power to break off all my chains
Yeshua You are a friend of sinners
Your mercy is a cleansing river
Washing over me forever
I am Yours You are mine
Yeshua the one that we call Jesus
Who knows our every thought and weakness
The kindness of Your heart it heals us
I am Yours You are mine
You are mine (yes You are Yeshua)
Mine (yes You are Yeshua)
You are my hope
My strength
My love
My trust
Lord You know I want Ya
My hope
My strength
My love
My trust
Lord You know I need Ya
My hope
My strength
My love
My trust
Lord You know I want Ya
My hope
My strength
My love
My trust
Lord You know I need Ya
Yeshua You are a friend of sinners
Your mercy is a cleansing river
Washing over me forever
I am Yours You are mine
Yeshua the one that we call Jesus
Knows our every thought and weakness
The kindness of Your heart it heals us
I am Yours You are mine
Yeshua Yeshua
You are
You are mine
Yeah You are mine
Lord You know I want Ya
