Cochren & Co. – Who Can | Share Worthy Song

There’s a moment in the Gospels when Jesus kneels in the dust with a woman caught in sin. The crowd is ready to condemn, stones in hand, but Jesus bends low and says, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her” (John 8:7). One by one, the accusers walk away. What remains is not shame, but mercy. That’s the heart of Cochren & Co.’s Who Can—a song that asks the question we all wrestle with: who could possibly love us in our mess, in our wandering, in our pride? The answer is always the same: Jesus can.

Michael Cochren has a gift for writing songs that sound like they’re sung from the middle of real life. Growing up in small-town Indiana, leading worship, and later touring with his wife Leah, he’s seen firsthand how people carry broken pieces and try to hold them together. Who Can was born out of that reality. With soulful vocals and a choir backing, the song doesn’t shy away from our flaws—it highlights the Savior who runs toward them.

I know that truth personally. There were seasons when I thought my failures defined me, when I was convinced no one could love me through the wreckage. But I found that Jesus doesn’t flinch at our weakness. He doesn’t retreat from the mess—He steps into it. That’s why this song resonates so deeply. It’s not about pretending we’re whole; it’s about admitting we’re not, and finding that His love is enough.

Scripture puts it plainly: “But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). That’s not love waiting for us to clean up—it’s love that meets us right where we are. And the psalmist declares, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18). That’s the kind of love Who Can sings about: love that doesn’t just forgive, but restores.

So when you hear this song, let it remind you that you don’t have to hold yourself together before coming to Him. You don’t have to earn it, prove it, or fake it. The answer to the question is already written: only Jesus can love us like this. And that love is available right now, for you, for me, for all of us.
