My Hope Is in You

The first single from American Contemporary Christian Music artist Aaron Shust's fourth album, This Is What We Believe is a proclamation of faith. Ed Cash, who is best known for his work with Christian singer Chris Tomlin, produced the song.

The David Altrogge and Michael Harnet directed music video was shot in Indiana, PA. The concept of the clip is a couple turning to their faith as their daughter faces medical issues. It's a subject familiar to Shust as he faced his own life-threatening medical struggles with his 2-year-old son, Nicky. Due to a miraculous healing after months of prayer, Nicky overcame his health problems.

The song was penned by Nashville-based singer-songwriter April Geesbreght. Shust told New Release Tuesday why he decided to record her tune: "We had chosen seven songs that I'd written and approved for the album, so I knew that I had three more songs to write. There were two that I knew I could finish, but the idea of starting from scratch on a third one just made me want to take a nap. I was wide open to outside songs at that point. 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. He told me that he hadn't pitched it to any artists yet, but felt it might be perfect for my album considering where I was in my life. I played April's version for my wife and she looked at me and said, 'You need to record that song.' I listen to my wife. And I thoroughly love singing and playing this song."
