Meaning & Inspiration
Aaron Shust’s single, "Every Morning," released on October 22, 2021, delivers a powerful and much-needed message of hope and steadfast faith in challenging times. From its opening notes, the song immediately draws listeners into a relatable human experience of struggle, voicing the profound weariness that can accompany life’s difficulties. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of enduring "one more day of trouble," "one more hour of tears," and "one more night crying out to Heaven," culminating in a desperate plea for divine intervention: "Rescue us from sorrow, deliver us from fear. God, how long till the coming of Your Kingdom?" This initial lament establishes a universal context of yearning for relief and ultimate redemption, echoing the prayers of saints throughout history and the prophetic longing for God's full reign to be established, as seen in Revelation 21:4 where God will wipe away every tear.
However, the song quickly transitions from despair to a profound declaration of faith, anchoring itself firmly in the timeless truth found in Lamentations 3:22-23: "The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness." This central theme, explicitly stated in the chorus ("Your mercies are new every morning, Great is Your faithfulness"), serves as the unwavering answer to the initial cries for help. It’s a powerful reminder that even when circumstances remain bleak, God’s compassion and loyalty are renewed with each sunrise, providing a fresh opportunity for hope and trust. The repetition of this truth isn't just a musical hook; it’s a spiritual anchor, a meditation designed to embed this divine promise deep within the spirit, ensuring we "won't let our hearts forget."
The lyrical journey continues to build upon this foundation, moving beyond the initial plea to acknowledge God's active presence in the midst of adversity. The lines "Your presence in our darkness, The promise of the dawn, Your perfect love: the hope that keeps us strong" beautifully articulate how God is not distant from our suffering but intimately involved. His presence provides comfort even in the deepest shadows, as Psalm 23:4 assures us that even walking through the valley of the shadow of death, we need not fear because He is with us. The "promise of the dawn" speaks to the certainty of breakthrough and new beginnings, a powerful metaphor for God's ability to bring light into any situation, reminiscent of Isaiah 60:1-3, which calls us to "Arise, shine, for your light has come." This hope, rooted in God’s "perfect love," as described in 1 John 4:18 which casts out all fear, is what empowers believers to persevere.
As the song progresses, it elevates into a resounding chorus of praise, transitioning from remembrance to active adoration with the "Singing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Singing Hallelujah every morning." This shift illustrates the transformative power of choosing praise even amid ongoing struggle, a spiritual discipline that aligns with Psalm 34:1, "I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth." The latter part of the song further solidifies this devotion by declaring God's multifaceted character through a series of rich, biblical appellations: "You are my Shelter, You are my Rock, You are my Fortress, My Redeemer, You are the Way, The Truth and The Life, You are my Portion, my Salvation." Each title resonates with profound Scriptural meaning. God as "Shelter," "Rock," and "Fortress" speaks to His role as our ultimate protection and stability, mirroring descriptions found in Psalm 18:2. To call Him "Redeemer" acknowledges His deliverance from sin and bondage, a truth central to Isaiah 44:24 and Galatians 3:13. The direct quote "The Way, The Truth and The Life" unequivocally points to Jesus Christ, as stated in John 14:6, affirming His sole authority and essential nature for humanity's salvation. Finally, "My Portion" and "my Salvation" highlight God as our ultimate inheritance, our deepest satisfaction, and the sole source of eternal life, a concept echoed in Psalm 73:26 and Isaiah 12:2. These declarations move beyond simple statements; they are powerful affirmations of identity—both God's and ours in Him—reinforcing the message that our faith is not in fleeting circumstances but in an unchanging, all-sufficient God. The song concludes by cycling back to the core truth, firmly planting the unwavering promise that God’s mercies are indeed new every single morning, encouraging a daily posture of trust and worship that can sustain us through any trial.
