Today, I’m reviewing the new project from Aaron Shust called “This Is What We Believe” on Centricity Music. It came out today and is available at your favorite music shop.
The album came out of a difficult season of Aaron’s life, as his two-year-old son, Nicky, was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis, a rare and extremely painful condition in which Nicky was unable to take in any nutrition. After months in the hospital and doctors’ countless attempts to find a cure for his ailment, Nicky’s tests came back normal, and a disease that should have been permanent, seemed to have disappeared. During that time, Aaron also lost his grandmother.
But through all the sickness and heartache, Aaron’s family never lost faith. This new project is about God’s healing power and the need to constantly embrace God’s promises and presence. Here is a little bit of what Aaron said about it…
Over the years. I’ve written a lot of songs speaking to my own soul the way David did in the Psalms: ‘Why are you downcast? Put your hope in God.’ But these new songs are a much bolder declaration. They come out of a difficult season, and these are declarations about who God is and who we are in Him because of His great love for us. This whole project is really about praising him simply for who he is.
This new project is a bit different from his other 3 projects as it’s more worship based and focuses on what God has done and is doing in Aaron’s life and family.
Here are some of my favorite tracks and what they mean to me.
Track #1 “This Is What We Believe” – This is an anthem to let everyone know what we believe and why.
Track #2 “My Hope Is In You” – This is my favorite song on the entire project. This line from the song…” My hope is in you Lord all day long, I won’t be shaken by drought or storm” speaks to me where I am right now as I’m waiting for what God has promised me. I can depend on Him in my weakness.
Track #6 – “Never Been A Greater Love” – This song reminds me that we are never alone and He is always with us in our time of need. His love is forever and we are never forgotten.
This is an amazing project full of songs that talk about how our God gave up His life for us and how He is with us through all our trials and triumphs that we face in our daily lives.
