Maria Segerholm's "One Child (Acoustic Version)"


Maria Segerholm released a fresh acoustic rendition of "One Child." The original song is by Mariah Carey and co-written with Marc Shaiman, a song that deeply touched Maria since she performed it at Christmas concerts with orchestra, choir, and children's choir in Jönköping, Sweden, back in 2016. Maria normally releases original works, and this year she decided to step outside her comfort zone and release an acoustic cover of a well-known song. She not only hopes that this rendition will be appreciated by fans new and old, but even more important, that this song will shift your focus to Jesus as the true reason for the season.

Maria Segerholm - One Child (Acoustic Version)The lyrics retell the story of Jesus's birth, from the angel's visit to Mary to her journey to Bethlehem and Jesus' humble birth in a manger. Each verse reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. The chorus emphasizes the key message of this story: "One child can change the world." Maria passionately shares this message of hope and worship, calling us to remember and celebrate Christ's birth and embrace the everlasting change that He brings to our lives. 

May this song help you to remember how "One child can change the world." He is already by your side, waiting for you to let Him into your life. Will you accept His personal gift for you?

Skillet - Valley of Death (CCM)

Skillet has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Valley of Death. The global health crisis of the last two years has led to numerous questions regarding why bad things happen to good people. Skillet's John Cooper explains why he believes God allowed the pandemic to happen. Skillet has released their new album Dominion through Atlantic Records last Friday (Jan. 14). A discussion with 'Loudwire Nights' host Toni Gonzalez brought up the track "Valley of Death," which contains the lyrics: "Someone said this is all part of the plan / But I don't understand." Gonzalez then asked him why he thinks God would allow a pandemic. This is what Cooper said: "Well, the first answer is that we're not good people. We're all fallen and we are all in desperate need of salvation through Jesus. So, we're not actually good people, we all do bad stuff. We all cheat, we've all lied, we're all greedy and as much as the most lov...

"In the Room" by Matt Maher feat. Chris Brown: A Heartfelt Desire for Divine Presence

Matt Maher's collaboration with Chris Brown, 'In the Room,' is a soul-stirring Christian song that encapsulates the profound longing to witness transformative moments in the presence of God. The lyrics express the desire to be present when God's power touches broken hearts, ignites faith, and brings healing. The song's verses convey a yearning for those irreplaceable instances when heaven and earth intersect, leading to changed hearts and restored lives. The chorus's declaration, ' I just wanna be in the room when You move,' beautifully encapsulates the eagerness to witness God's miraculous work up close.

The repetition of the bridge emphasizes the earnest plea to witness God's breakthroughs and freedom. 'In the Room' is an invitation to be part of moments that are greater than oneself...

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society: Why This Song Unites the Church

"How Glorious" by Red Letter Society is a Trinity-focused song that pulls you into worship. Written by Justin Tweito and Jordan West, the song calls us to return to the heart of our faith. The opening line, "How wonderful is the cross of Christ,"  draws us into praise.  The song invites us to repentance and faith, but more importantly, the lyrics magnify the Trinity: the Father's eternal plan, the Son's sacrifice, and the Spirit's ongoing work in us. The song celebrates how every part of God is involved in redeeming us!  Have you ever wondered how a song can feel so unifying? That's the beauty of this song! It calls us, the Church, to stand together in bold praise. Instead of focusing on what divides us, it points us upwards, looking to our God who is glorious in love, power, and purpose. It encourages us to see the love of the Father, the blood of the Son, and how it is applied by the Holy Spirit.  There's no abstract theology in this song… the ...
