Aaron Shust’s new song "Hold Me Fast (Psalm 139)" is one of 10 Psalms on his 10th full-length album entitled Heaven + Earth.

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
King David may have been the author, but this Psalm always reminded me of Jonah in the belly of the great fish..."if I make my bed in the depths of the sea, You are there..."
David knew from childhood on that God was WITH him. From the fields at night, tending his father's flock of sheep while predators lurked in the shadows, to playing music for a demon-possessed King, David felt God's presence with him. From defiantly standing up to Goliath, to his days hiding in the desert for his life, David knew the God of Israel had never left him. The intimate and even mundane details of his day were never unknown to the LORD.
This fact brought David great comfort. The Creator of the stars wove us together in our mother's womb. David's response to this was PRAISE.

LYRICS:
VERSE 1
You search me and know me
You know when I sit and when I rise
Before a word is on my tongue
You know it completely
VERSE 2
You’re familiar with my going up and lying down
All my ways
Where can I go from Your Spirit
Or flee from Your presence?
CHORUS
If I go to the heavens
You are there
If I make my bed in the depths of the sea
You are there
If I rise on the wings of the dawn
If I settle on distant shores
Even there Your hand will guide me
Even there Your right hand will hold me fast
VERSE 3
Created and woven together In my mother’s womb
I’ll praise You for I’ve been made
Fearfully and wonderfully
BRIDGE
How precious to me are Your thoughts
How vast the sum of them
If I were to count them
They’d number far more than the sand
How precious to me are Your thoughts
How vast the sum of them
Far too great for me to ever understand
VERSE 4
So search me search me O God
And know my heart
Try me and know my thoughts
See if there be in me
Any wicked way
Then lead me down the road everlasting

Especially for those poor folk in Gaza being forced to flee from their homes only to be bombed in so called 'safe' places. There is nowhere safe in Gaza. Lord rid us of our pride and greed. Maranatha Lord Jesus.

Thank you Aaron Shust for your work in the name of the Lord Jesus . Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Psalm 139 is the proof that David understood the repentance and sanctification path. The narrow way that leads to life.

[@amethystrosemaclaren5853]

Now this is a beautiful video! I can see myself in walking through the forest looking at all the beauty the Lord made and the total complete sense of peace washing over me because the Lord is with me. To breathe that sigh of relief and fall into His rest. No burdens. No worries. Just the love of Jesus and his rest. Thank you so much for such a tranquil video! Beautiful!🕊️🙏✝️

[@elizabethbrody5605]

Beautiful sung. Love it ! Thank you Aaron Shust! Psalm 139 is one of my favorite Psalms.

[@Linda-lo4oy]

This is a great work, even David would enjoy. I followed along in the scriptures, it is nice to throughly search them through song. I enjoy Miqedems version of Psalm 23. I have known this Psalm since I can remember- yet- trying to learn to sing in Hebrew with Miqedem, lots of repetition lol. One line all of a sudden jumped out and made me grow. "He leads me in paths of righteousness, FOR HIS NAMES SAKE" ! Wow. If righteousness is a measure of faith then we are led in paths that grow our faith. I see this work is going to be the same- what lesson of Wow will I find? Thank you Aaron Shust. I admire you and your family- praying for you now.

[@marjetkak.137]

Čudovita pesem ❤️ Krasen video ✨🕊️ Bogu hvala 🙏 Hvala Aaron ❤️🕊️ "Zahvaljujem se ti, ker sem tako čudovito ustvarjen, čudovita so tvoja dela, moja duša to dobro pozna." ~Psalm 139,14 🙏

[@AbaloneWorld]

Thank you Aaron. May God richly bless you and your family. These times cry out to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Blessed praise and gospel truths lift us up to a closer walk with GOD! Keep ready! JESUS CHRIST IS COMING! HE PROMISED. HE KEEPS HIS WORD. Maranatha! 1 Cor.16:22; John 14:1-3, 6; Titus 2:11-15. To know and believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! John 3:16. That is our greatest blessing in life. THE ANGELS GIVE GLORY TO GOD IN HEAVEN! HERE WE HEAR AND SEE EARTH "ANGELS" DOING IT TOO! RIGHT HERE! JUST LIKE YOU! WE LOVE YOU, LORD! YOU GAVE ALL FOR US. YOUR SUFFERING WAS IMMENSE! WE GIVE YOU ALL THE GLORY! YOU ARE OUR LIFE SAVIOR. Mark 16:15 Gospel! The good news about Jesus Christ and salvation from judgment on our sins. Jesus dined with His disciples the night before He went to the cross. Mark 14:22-25. Jesus and His disciples were eating a Passover meal together at the Last Supper. After partaking of bread and wine (His body and His blood), the Bible mentions the hymn Jesus sang with His disciples. “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” Mark 14:26. What were they singing on such an occasion? PRAISE! Psalms 113-118. THE GOOD NEWS "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me." John 14:6 Jesus Christ loves us! We believe this! John 3:16-17. We believe Him and who He is! He is our Savior! GOD THE SON! ONLY HE SAVES. Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 not of works, lest any man should boast." JESUS GAVE HIS LIFE FOR US AND LIVES AGAIN! 1 Corinthians 15: 3 "For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" Blood coming from his body, NAKED, hanging on that cross like Roman torture weapon! What a Lord God and Savior! He had to. HE is God the Son. Only His sinless blood could pay for all our sins. 1 John 2:1-2. He died on our behalf! We believe in Him and who He is, trusting the shedding of His blood as payment for ALL our sins, and His burial and resurrection from the dead the third day for our eternal life! John 20:24-31. HE LIVES EVERMORE! We can live forever through Him. God forgives our sins through Him otherwise our sins will prevent us from living in Glory with Him and our family in the faith the Bible describes. We study to show ourselves approved in wisdom and further truths about Him! We are in a family! God's family. CHRIST'S BRIDE! We got to know Jesus Christ better and better! Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more than, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." HE LIVES! JESUS LIVES!
