Maria Segerholm - A New Song (CCM)

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

Maria writes: 'A New Song is a personal song about my music journey. Thirteen years of waiting. Thirteen years of ups and downs. Thirteen years of growing and being prepared for the season I'm in now.
Music has always played a big role in my life. I have had the longing to spread God’s love and hope through music since I was a teenager. But it’s been a very bumpy road. Many times did I wonder what God’s plan for my music was and for many years my dream felt as far away as ever. It felt like a desert. And I started to give up. I doubted myself and the vision. Even though I deep down still had a dream that I believe God had given me.
I had been telling myself that I should let go of the dream, that I was not good enough and that I was too old to pursue music.
In the midst of this I had an encounter with God where I felt Him telling me that it’s not too late. It’s time.
I realized that even though I thought I was ready during all those years of waiting, God still wanted to do more in me. I asked God to show me what to do with all the songs I had written. I asked Him how I could serve Him more through music and I asked Him to lead my steps.I waited for direction. Instead I found something much better.
I found my joy in Him.
I thought I already had that but I experienced a whole new dimension of it. The kind of deep joy that is a foundation so strong that even in grief, struggle and pain I could feel joy in Him. Not in my circumstances. But in Him who is worthy. Always.
About a year ago I took a leap of faith and started pursuing music again. God gave me new inspiration and joy and doors started to open. My song Healing Rain was born a couple of months later. A forever special song to me, a gift from God that I knew I had to release. There I was. Thirteen years later, and about to record again. I don’t understand why it took 13 years, but what I do know is that God has the perfect timing. And He has given me a new song. Through all those years God has been the same. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Has life been easy? No, really tough actually. But when I look back I can see how God has protected me and my family, all the way.
I am deeply thankful to God for all the lessons He is learning me. I am thankful for joy found in Him and for His faithfulness and perfect timing. I hope and pray that this song will encourage you on your own walk with God!'

"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...

"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...

"He's My Rock" by Jamar Esaw & Triad 4 Christ: Finding Shelter in the Storm

(by Jasper Tan) “He’s My Rock” by Jamar Esaw & Triad4Christ featuring Koriann Lewis-Freeman is a powerful contemporary Gospel track that delivers a blend of traditional worship and modern soul. It reminds me of some of the songs by the band DC Talk, which was the definitive sound of modern Christian Contemporary Music when it exploded in the music scene back in the 90’s. This contemporary Gospel track brings forth an energetic sound that updates the way we sing our praise and worship sessions in our Churches. The song brings in a raw modern energy that breaks tradition while also encouraging worship sessions to be more in tune with the times, which brings a lot of youthful energy. The song is powered by Jamar Esaw’s smooth, commanding vocals and Koriann Lewis-Freeman’s additional vocal range. Bringing in an electric chemistry rooted in the authenticity of emotions as they sang the lyrics of the song. This is clearly felt during the song’s build-up to its climactic moments. With a r...
