You can get a free download from Belfast, Ireland-based modern worship band Bluetree! The song is “Each Day” from the band’s acclaimed debut, God Of This City.
While the song is ultimately an upbeat declaration of a believer’s unwavering trust in God, it was actually born out of a season of struggle. When Bluetree lead vocalist/guitarist Aaron Boyd sings, “You never leave me alone/Even when storms cloud my way/And I can’t see the breaking day/You never leave me alone,” the lyrics were crafted by him in response to finding out his daughter Lily was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis not long after birth.
“When I first heard the news, I freaked out. I didn’t even know what cystic fibrosis was,” Boyd shares. “This thing just rocks your world because you really begin to look at what you believe. God is a loving God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. And I know He does not bless you with an incurable disease to teach you a lesson. He does not do that. So I suppose I got to a place where I struggled, even when I knew that God is a good God.”
And that’s exactly what Boyd hopes that listeners will experience when listening to Bluetree–hope not necessarily dictated by circumstance–the moment when God does some of His best work and shaping
