New Music Friday: "Won't Start Now" by Seph Schlueter

There’s something deeply reassuring about looking back and remembering the faithfulness of God. Every sunrise, every answered prayer, every moment of grace reminds us that He has never failed, and He never will. That’s the heart of Seph Schlueter’s new song, “Won’t Start Now.” The name Seph Schlueter might sound familiar to you. You may know him from his song “Running Back to You” or from the joyful anthem “Counting My Blessings.” Now, Seph is back with another powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness in his new song.

From the very first line, Seph points us to God’s unwavering presence:

I’ve never seen a morning the sun forgot to rise, In every single detail You’re faithful every time, I’ve never lived a moment that You weren’t by my side, ’Cause You’ve never made a promise, Turned around and changed Your mind

The lyrics capture a truth we all need to cling to: God doesn’t change. He doesn’t abandon His people. He doesn’t forget His promises. And if He’s never failed before, He won’t start now.

This song echoes the promise of Deuteronomy 31:6—“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.” Seph takes that timeless truth and puts it into a melody that feels like a steady anchor for the soul.

The chorus rings out as both a declaration and a reminder:

You’ve never left me in the cold, Never hurt me or let me go, You never have before, And You won’t start now

In a world full of uncertainty, this song reminds us that God’s character is unshakable. He is faithful in the details, constant in His care, and always right on time with His provision.

“Won’t Start Now” isn’t just about remembering the past faithfulness of God—it’s about standing on it today. Whatever season you’re in, whatever unknowns you’re facing, Seph’s words remind us that we are never on our own.

So take a deep breath. Look back at the ways God has carried you before. And then rest in the truth that the same God who has never let you down won’t start now.
