My Hope Is in You

"My Hope Is In You" is a song by American contemporary Christian music artist Aaron Shust from his 2011 album This Is What We Believe.

My producer Ed Cash told me that he had a song written by a girl named April Geesbreght that he and his family have had stuck in their heads for about six months.

While he was recording the song, his two-year-old son Nicky was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis, a painful condition where he could not take any nutrition.

"During the entire ordeal, I became acutely aware of my utter dependency on God and my need to daily, constantly, embrace His promises and His presence," he said.

The album and this song come out of a difficult season for me and my family personally, and they are declarations about who God is and who we are in Him because of His great love for us.

To witness your own child being healed of something that doctors told you was permanent, painful and incurable—just totally moves my heart to worship God.
