Misha Goetz - Yeshua Lyrics
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
The one who was, the one who is
The one who is to come
(Verse 2)
Holy, holy, holy
You alone are worthy
The one who loves, the one who gives
His one beloved Son
(Chorus)
Yeshua, you're Lord of all our days
Yeshua, we yield to you our ways
Oh Yeshua, on you we fix our gaze
We surrender to you, Yeshua
(Verse 3)
Singing Hallelujah
Offering our praises
Entering your throne room
Sitting at your feet
(Verse 4)
There's no one before you
No one who compares to
The one who loves, the one who gives
The one who's in our hearts
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
When we are lost, and when we are weak
Yours is the only face we seek
Hard to remember when we didn't know your name
We know now, So we bow
(Verse 5)
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Hear the song of heaven
Sung around your throne
(Verse 6)
There they are before you
All who have adored you
The ones who loved the ones who lived
Their lives for you alone
(Chorus)

Yeshua | Marty Goetz & Misha Goetz LIVE from Jerusalem // Israel
Meaning & Inspiration
Misha Goetz’s "Yeshua," released on November 20, 2018, as part of the *Marty Goetz & Misha: Live from Jerusalem* album, emerges as a profound anthem of adoration and submission to Jesus Christ. This live recording, imbued with the spiritual weight of its origin in Jerusalem, transcends a mere musical performance, becoming an invitation into a sacred space of worship. The song's compelling message revolves around the eternal holiness of God, the redemptive work of His Son, and the worshipper's complete surrender to His Lordship, all woven together with rich theological depth.
The opening verses immediately establish a tone of awe, declaring God as "Holy, holy, holy," echoing the heavenly worship described in Revelation 4:8, where celestial beings ceaselessly praise the Almighty. This proclamation further identifies God as "the one who was, the one who is, the one who is to come," directly referencing His eternal and unchanging nature, much like His self-revelation to Moses in Exodus 3:14 as "I AM WHO I AM." The song then pivots to God's unparalleled worthiness and His ultimate act of love—giving "His one beloved Son." This profound statement encapsulates the core of the Gospel, aligning with John 3:16, emphasizing the sacrificial love that defines God’s character and makes Him worthy of all praise.
The chorus serves as the song's spiritual anchor, transitioning from declarative worship to a personal, active response. The repeated utterance of "Yeshua" – the Hebrew name for Jesus – underscores a direct, intimate address. The lines "you're Lord of all our days" and "we yield to you our ways" articulate a total commitment, a daily submission of every aspect of life to Christ's authority, reminiscent of Romans 12:1-2, which calls believers to present their bodies as living sacrifices. Furthermore, "on you we fix our gaze" draws parallels to Hebrews 12:2, urging devoted focus on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, ensuring that our attention remains solely on Him amidst life's distractions. This surrender is not a reluctant act but an eager bowing before His sovereign rule.
As the song progresses, it deepens the experience of worship. Verse three paints a vivid picture of entering God's presence, "Singing Hallelujah, Offering our praises, Entering your throne room, Sitting at your feet." This imagery evokes the boldness granted to believers to approach God's throne of grace, as highlighted in Hebrews 4:16, and the humble devotion of sitting at Jesus’ feet, like Mary choosing the better part in Luke 10:39, absorbing His wisdom and presence. The subsequent verse solidifies God's supremacy, asserting, "There's no one before you, No one who compares to," a clear affirmation of monotheism found throughout Scripture, such as Isaiah 45:5. The addition of "The one who's in our hearts" personalizes this cosmic truth, acknowledging the indwelling Holy Spirit and Christ's presence within believers, as Ephesians 3:17 describes Christ dwelling in our hearts through faith.
The bridge offers a poignant moment of reflection on humanity's need and God's unwavering provision. "When we are lost, and when we are weak, Yours is the only face we seek" speaks to the human condition of vulnerability and God's role as the sole refuge and strength, mirroring Psalm 46:1. The powerful declaration, "Hard to remember when we didn't know your name, We know now, So we bow," encapsulates the transformative journey of faith, where a life once ignorant of Christ now lives in devoted recognition and reverence, culminating in the bowing of hearts and wills in adoration and submission, a testament to Philippians 2:10-11. The song then circles back to the heavenly chorus in verses five and six, reiterating the "Holy, holy, holy" refrain and inviting the worshipper to envision "the song of heaven, Sung around your throne." This vision expands to include "All who have adored you," depicting a vast multitude of believers, past and present, living their "lives for you alone," joining in this eternal worship, a powerful echo of Revelation 7:9-10, where every nation, tribe, people, and language stands before the throne, offering praise. "Yeshua" by Misha Goetz is ultimately a profound spiritual journey, moving from the recognition of God’s majestic holiness to a deep, personal commitment of surrender and worship, serving as a powerful call to live a life wholly devoted to the Lord of all.
