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 Perfect Man" by Kaylyn Sahs: Finding the Only One Who Never Fails

(by Jasper Tan) “The Perfect Man” is a very beautiful love song by Kaylyn Sahs. I’ve never heard such a beautiful love song written for Jesus that is very relatable, and that truly defines how it is to be loved. Jesus is the only perfect Man who can fulfill our hearts and complete us. His Love is the only kind of Love that we all should desire to have. A lot of the people out there who are still searching to find love and find the perfect partner that they could spend their life with should listen to this song. The song helps to define the type of person they should be looking for and not settle for anything less, because we truly deserve someone who could love them that is as pure as Jesus.  Kaylyn shares that this song is her personal testimony of finding a love that never fails or walks away. And like most people out there who are still in the process of finding love, Kaylyn has also been there, patiently waiting for the perfect partner to come into her life and complete her, on...

"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...

"Sometime" by Robert Peterson and The Crusade: God always finds us

(by Jasper Tan) In the tradition of our favorite CCM rock anthems from the 90's and early 2000's (the Jars of Clay and Vertical Horizon come to mind), Robert Peterson and The Crusade's recently released single, called "Sometime," is a joyful experience to listen to. This is a rock song that speaks about waiting and being prepared for the right moment to be called by Jesus. It comes from a place where the miracle and the sudden arrival of God in our lives are always unpredictable. But when we are ready, God will find us. The lyricism of the song is written in such a way that there are double meanings and vague messages. I understand the artistic decision to write this in such a manner. I always believe that evangelism isn't always straightforward, and there is definitely not a one-size-fits-all approach. Sometimes people who have yet to encounter Jesus in their lives may feel resistance and apathy towards the truth of Jesus' love for us, but are open to mes...
