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 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...

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
