Lyrics
Yahushua (Jonah's Prayer)
story behind the song
Jonah 2:2-9
When I was
In trouble, God,
I prayed that You would save.
I cried out
And You came down
And raised me from this grave.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
You'd thrown me
Deep into the sea,
And I thought I would die
Far from You,
Oh, so far from You
That I'd never see Your light.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
Hope for life
Was out of sight,
Still, You came and rescued me.
I was alone,
You were on Your throne,
Still, You saw me on my knees.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
All who don't
Seek to know
You turn from mercy and grace.
As for me,
With all I've seen,
I can't help but give You praise.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
You have saved my life
And I will sacrifice.
I will keep ev'ry promise I make
To the only One with the power to save
And I will praise.
I will praise
Because You save.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
Yahushua.
The God who saves.
