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!'

"Paper Lantern Heart" by MK Green: When God Lights a Fire You Can't Contain

What happens when God lights a fire in you?  Some fires refuse to stay hidden. MK Green wrote “Paper Lantern Heart” around that exact truth, inspired by Jeremiah 20:9, where the prophet admits that he tried to stop preaching but simply couldn’t. The Word burned inside him “like a fire shut up in my bones.” Green’s lyrics echo that same struggle: “Behind the bones inside my chest there burns a paper heart.” Cold turns to burning. Silence turns to song. “I was cold as stone until You lit a spark,” the chorus declares, and something about that image sticks with you long after the music fades.  Here’s the question worth pondering: What do you do when God ignites something in you that won’t stay quiet?  Jeremiah tried holding it in, and that exhausted him. “There is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot” (Jeremiah 20:9). That weariness sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Maybe you’ve felt the nudge to speak up, ...

"Come Alive" by Joel Lane: Finding Life Where Emptiness Used to Live

What if nothing you chase can truly fill the emptiness?  Emptiness has a way of following you around, no matter how fast you run. You chase a feeling (or things you believe will get you higher up “the ladder”), land on it for a moment, and then watch it slip through your fingers again. Joel Lane captures that feeling of restlessness in the opening lines of his song “Come Alive”: “Emptiness, chasing a feeling, trying to fill the void inside.” Sound familiar? Most of us have spent years searching for a purpose that felt just out of our reach.  Joel sings about how something happened that put everything in a different perspective. “You opened my eyes, now I see the light, I’m never going back.” That’s not a small statement. That’s a complete change of direction, a different way of living, a change the kind that can only happen when God steps into the picture.  The apostle Paul writes about this change of direction in Ephesians: “But God, being rich in mercy, because of the...

"Great Is Thy Faithfulness" by Gethsemane Instrumental: Finding Steady Ground in the Storm

God’s mercies are new every morning — do you notice? “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” by Gethsemane Instrumental is one of the tracks in John Long’s upcoming instrumental project. Gethsemane Instrumental is a space for prayer, a quiet room where listeners can sit with Jesus without distraction. Hardships visited John more than once. He also went through Ministry seasons that tested him in ways that could have hollowed him out. But something kept pulling John back to the same conviction: “He is faithful.” Not faithful when convenient. Not faithful in the easy seasons only. Faithful “through every storm,” standing “unmoved and unwavering” while everything around him shifted. “Great Is Thy Faithfulness” is the first single off John’s upcoming Hymns Devotional Vol. 2 project. This song has been a staple song for him throughout his entire walk with Jesus.  That kind of steadiness isn’t new. Thomas Chisholm penned the original song in 1923, sitting in Baldwin City, Kansas, worn down by frai...
