Jonathan White was born in the state of Pennsylvania and began singing with his family at age 4. Jonathan currently sings with Mencer, White and Cheney as well as having a successful solo ministry.
Jonathan's current single, "The Passion of the Christ" (listen here) is making a huge splash on radio. The song was written by Steven Cheney and the late Dan Adkins. When asked about the inspiration for the song, Jonathan sent me the following from co-writer, Steven Cheney.
```````````````````````````````````````
While seeing the movie “The Passion Of The Christ” it had such an affect on me that I could not watch it completely through the first time and found myself going in and out of the theater. The story of the Savior so gripped my heart that the opening line of the song that would soon be written, kept going over and over in my mind. It says … “They led Him away … betrayed by a kiss”. After seeing the movie the second time completely through … I was still captured by loves greatest story and knew in my heart that there had to be a song that would convey the great love and grace of our sacrificial Lamb, Jesus Christ.
Soon after it was cut, Jon wanted to get the song out to as many people as possible because of the power in the message of the gospel. It was released by Phillip Emery (DJ Man Promotions) our radio promotions company.
My prayer is and has always been, “Lord take my songs and use them as You please to bring glory to Yourself and to multiply Your kingdom. … and I believe that Bro. Dan would feel the same way. As a songwriter I want hearts and lives all over the world to be touched by our music and reached by the saving message of Jesus Christ. I know this is the passion of our Savior … and I am just so thankful that in God’s sovereign plan allowed me to write it in a song. Surely he came to seek and to save that which was lost … and for that I am most grateful. God Bless You!
Sincerely,
In Christ …
Steven Cheney

Jonathan has one of the best tenor voices in the business. I am blessed to call him my friend. "The Passion Of The Christ" is a MUST hear song. Call your favorite radio station and request it. Pick up his new recording "Live At Chapel Hill." It will bless you.
Bubba you is still the best tenor ever. I can't wait to hear this new CD. I'm so proud of you. I'll bet Dan is telling your parents how far you've come!!
Dear Jonathan,
The first time I heard Jon sing I knew he had a special gift. "The Water Came Walking" & "I Bowed On My Knees And Cried Holy" are two of my favorites. Our families have traveled together on vacation and I can honestly say Jonathan is steadfast in doing what God would have him to do. He has a caring giving heart, it is a priviledge to call him my friend.
Jonathan White has given us such an anointed rendition of an incredible song. The combination of Jonathan's powerful voice and Steve and Dan's writing draws us to look at the cross with a fresh vision. What an awesome gift the body of Christ has been given through Jonathan's obedience to use his talent in the service of the King!
Jonathan is a powerhouse of a singer, and is doubley blessed to have such unbelievable Spirit led songwriters in his corner! I heard the story about the writing of "The passion of the Christ" from the author himself, Steve Cheney at National Quartet Convention, and believe me, the song is most certainly a "God-Incidence" as the writer put it. Jonathan, thanks for all you've done to help me in my ministry, and God bless you in yours! You're just an all around nice guy!! (You can pay me later for that one!)
Jonathan,
Which comp disc is this single on? It's making a "huge splash on radio",.. but I've never heard of it.

I mailed your copy out 1st class mail right before convention. You might want to email me privatly to verify your address. I'll send out another copy, no problem. This is a GREAT song, sung by an AWESOME singer and you need to have a copy of it.
I apologize to Philip Emery (DJ MAn) for my rude comments.. Phillip.. God Bless your work.. much success.

Jon

Hey Jon, That is some wonderful singing! A wonderful song! I remember singing with yiu when we were kids and that was fun! Do you remember good old GGMA? Chris
Absolutely awesome, Jonathan! I had "Godbumps" all over me at the recording that night. God has truly blessed you and I'm so glad that you use your talent for him.
With your powerful, tenor,voice which you have been blessed with, the song "The Passion of the Christ" is awesome, the words are so beautiful, and true..Next to our favorite "I Bow on My Knees and Cry Holy" this is a close second. Hope the Lord blesses you with many more years, of singing praise to HIM......
