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

"Boxes" by John Long: Breaking Free from Religious Boxes

(by Jasper Tan) John Long’s “Boxes,” written with Dustin Smith, is both a reflection and criticism of how we oftentimes allow ourselves to be limited (“boxed”) with our faith. Using the “box” as the core metaphor of the song, it represents our self-imposed (or community-imposed) limitations with religious traditions that prevents genuine a genuine relationship with God. John emphasizes that these limitations often run into conflict with the original intentions of God, to have a free flowing holy communion with God. The song is characterized by our sense of longing and our desire to re-approach our Faith with clean hands and a pure heart. From the opening lines itself, we are challenged to evaluate the current status of our faith and come to realize that it may never really what we intend it to be. Our intention from the start was born from a desire to start a deep and Holy Communion with God, and as the bridge and chorus approaches, the song has a more personal and prayerful tone. We a...

"The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL: At the Cross, Where Mercy Meets the Weary Heart

Rooted in the story of Jesus giving Himself at Calvary for everyone, "The Cross" by Mhammed El Alami & HKL turns this familiar message into a very personal invitation. Just stop carrying what is crushing you ( "Lay it down, let it go" ), surrender it to Christ, and let Him hold you. These lyrics are not only about the cross at Calvary. It's also about your cross, your fear, your shame, and your need for His peace. "Darkness fell, I was breaking fast," and we may count on the forgiving arms of a merciful Savior who is always there, even when our lives feel cold and heavy. "At the cross // You gave it all, you felt the cold // and love took hold // and made me whole." It's at the cross where "mercy bled and grace was born" for you, personally. It's where His grace clears your way home. What does that mean for us today? It means that we do not need to walk or carry our burdens alone. We may place everything that weighs u...

"The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" by Chris Sarver: Finding Freedom in Faith

Have you ever felt the weight of the past (old chains) even after you're free? Chris Sarver's "The List Goes On (Jordan's Song)" addresses this specific struggle. Chris shared the following: "Like many of you, I have been part of text thread groups whose main purpose is for encouragement and prayer. … About four years ago, in one of those men's groups, my friend from church, Jordan Hanks, shared a message you can see in the picture. It was simple. He wrote about how sometimes we feel the old weight we carried before Jesus lifted it. And when that weight tries to creep back in, he reminds himself of the names Jesus has earned in his life. He is a Healer." In other words, when shame whispers lies, we must speak truth louder. The lyrics confess, "The chains are gone, sometimes I still find that I can feel their weight." Instead of hiding this feeling, Chris Sarver turns it into a moment of worship. He calls out names that Jesus has earned in...
