'The Lord Is My Shepherd' by Mariano Mallia: An Epic Ballad of Triumph Over Adversity


Mariano Mallia's moving song 'The Lord Is My Shepherd' takes us on a journey of faith, healing, and surrender. This song speaks to us not just as a wonderful melody, but also as a testament to Mallia's struggle with his own challenges. Mallia weaves his tapestry of recovery and revelation following a life-altering vocal cord injury that left his vocal cords partially paralyzed.

Mariano Mallia - The Lord Is My Shepherd'The Lord Is My Shepherd' is like a ray of sunlight breaking through a storm, a musical reassurance that God is our Shepherd even in times of despair. Mallia's voice, the moving lyrics, and the immersive piano and choir remind us that God's love and guidance are constant, even when the world forgets and we are too busy running.

Listening to 'The Lord Is My Shepherd,' we can sense Mallia's release from worldly shackles and his surrendering trust in God. Through his journey, he extends an invitation to all of us to cast our burdens aside and trust in God's plan, whatever the outcome. It's more than a song; it's a beacon that guides us back to the path of faith, even when we've strayed.

'The Lord Is My Shepherd' provides both comfort and challenge—a divine call to align our hearts, entrust our struggles, and recognize the ever-present Shepherd in our lives.

(Related scripture: Psalm 23:1; Matthew 11:28-30; John 10:11)

"Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative – Ancient Wisdom, Fresh Waves

I'm sitting in traffic, Spotify on shuffle, listening to my collection of new releases. That's when the song "Guide Me (O, Thou Great Jehovah) / Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)" by Ezra Worship Initiative starts to play. The song starts with a revamp of a 280-year-old hymn "Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah", and then beautifully transitions to the chorus of Hillsong's "Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)". This medley made my heart do a little cartwheel!  The hymn "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (originally "Arglwydd, arwain trwy'r anialwch" in Welsh) by William Williams (a Welsh Methodist preacher) was inspired by the biblical story of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Williams wrote this in 1745 as a plea to God for guidance while traveling through life's wilderness. A 280-year-old plea that is still very relevant for us today.  "I am weak, but Thou art mighty // hold me with thy powerful hand," a thought that ...

'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...

"Heartbeat" by Laura Leighe - Dancing in Worship

Here's a song that's more or less been stuck in my head since I heard it. It's called 'Heartbeat' by Laura Leighe and is what Laura calls a "reggaeton-influenced Christian pop duet" that's all about surrendering to God's rhythm and dancing in worship, no matter what life throws your way.  The lyrics remind me of two scriptures: "Praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe."  - Psalm 150:4 (NIV) and "Wearing a linen ephod, David was dancing before the Lord with all his might."  - 2 Samuel 6:14 (NIV). Maybe I'm a bit prejudiced because the song reminds us of our own thoughts when we founded "Christian Dance" years ago and picked a name. Focusing on music that allows us to feel joy and causes us (our hearts) to dance for God, a pure form of worship that we know is pleasing to God. The lyrics are about surrendering our control and trusting in God's plan. Laura sings, "I bet you f...
