Maria Segerholm - Chosen (CCM)

Maria Segerholm - Chosen
Maria Segerholm has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called 'Chosen'.

"I was asked by my pastor if I could write a song for church’s theme for 2022", Maria shares. "It was about a month left before the theme would be presented for church and it was at a time where I was very busy. I must admit I was skeptical that I would find the time for it. One evening I walked past my piano and I just felt that I should go back and just sit down for a little bit and see if I had any inspiration. The song was born in an instant! God blessed the little time I had. We can see many stories in the Bible where God blessed whatever the person had to offer. I’m so grateful that God can use us even when we limit ourselves. We might think we don’t have time or believe we’re not good enough or qualified. The good news is… God can use ANYONE! He has chosen each and every one of us. And He will support every step of the way towards the calling. This song is a testimony of that. God is the author & I’m humbled to be the pen."

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Here I am O Lord
You created me
Loved from the very start
Chosen by You          
Here I am O Lord
You created me
Loved from the very start
Chosen by You          

Chorus:
You have chosen me
And You strengthen me
When you’re sending me
I wanna go where You lead
You are calling me
You’re preparing me
And You’ve promised me
That You’re with me all my days
 
Verse 2:
I’m longing for You God
Let Your will be done
I wanna go Your way
Trusting in You          
 
Chorus:
You have chosen me
And You strengthen me
When you’re sending me
I wanna go where You lead
You are calling me
You’re preparing me
And You’ve promised me
That You’re with me all my days
 
Bridge:
Even if I’m scared and I’m doubting
I choose to put my trust in Your name
Cause Your perfect love casts out all my worries
Thank you Lord for giving me rest

Chorus:
You have chosen me
And You strengthen me
When you’re sending me
I wanna go where You lead
You are calling me
You’re preparing me
And You’ve promised me
That You’re with me all my days
 You have chosen me
And You strengthen me
When you’re sending me
I wanna go where You lead
You are calling me
You’re preparing me
And You’ve promised me
That You’re with me all my days
 
Chosen by you

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. As you listen, you can almost feel the cruise, where it's just you, your thoughts, and God.  The chorus is so relatable: 'When I need space, that's where I go, a place to escape that nobody knows.' What do you do when life's pressures stack high? Do you also have a space where you can let go? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
