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?

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford: Forgiven by the Cross, Made Whole

"Tears of the Lamb (Radio Edit)" by Avery Stafford retells the well-known story of Christ's sacrifice with a deep personal gratitude. A new rendition of a song that Avery first introduced at a 1993 youth rally on a humble blue cassette tape (!) with the lyrics that focus on Jesus' innocence, His willingness to suffer, and the mystery of a love that is beyond anything we are able to comprehend. Instead of dwelling only on the sorrow, Avery points us to the hope that His tears have made possible. You hear him marvel at Christ's mercy, remind us of His forgiveness even in suffering, and celebrate the healing that comes from a life that He has made whole. The message in this worship anthem, reimagined with cinematic flair, is simple (but not easy): Jesus gave everything, and there is nothing we can do or could have done to earn such an ultimate sacrifice. "With tears in Your eyes, You died for me," but most of all, the lyrics highlight redemption's triu...

"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...

"Your Love" by Kevin Winebarger - When Mercy Becomes Your Identity

Kevin Winebarger teamed up with Joshua Frerichs and Benji Cowart to create this beautiful song. "Your Love" tackles that discouraging voice we all hear from time to time, the one that whispers that we're not enough and that we are defined by our past. "Once a liar, always a liar," and all kinds of variations along this same line of thought. This song isn't about wallowing in shame. "Your Love" is a celebration of the grace that changes everything.  The opening lines hit hard: "I could believe that I'm not enough // It's clear to see I don't measure up." Yep, we've all been there! But this isn't how God want us to be defined… He loved us first! "It's just what You've done // Because of Your love." That's the heart of everything.  Kevin places the change the God brings into perspective, "I could believe that my mistakes // Will follow me down into the grave // But I'm not who I was....
