Finding Refuge in Song: "Lead Me To The Rock" by Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm


Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm release "Lead Me To The Rock" in a unique collaboration across the globe. The collaboration that started with a 2-hour video call a year ago has already resulted in a joint release, and with the release of this song, it continues to bear fruits of musical inspiration and harmony.

Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm - Lead Me To The RockTom Mottershead is from Australia, and Maria Segerholm is from Sweden. They have a spiritual connection across the oceans, and for "Lead Me To The Rock" they have drawn inspiration from Psalm 61, as well as the challenges they each have faced in their lives. No matter what difficulties they have been through, their faith in God brings them real peace. This song beautifully describes their deepest longing for God's peace and uses the image of finding safety in Christ's arms.

The lyrics are full of biblical truth and read like an honest prayer, the kind one prays when life feels overwhelming. You can hear a cry for God's help in the lyrics, making the song very relatable if you've been going through times where life feels like a heavy weight on your shoulders.

The chorus is a look upward: "Lead me to your strength // Lead me to your love // You're in control // The anchor for my soul // Lead me to the rock // That is higher than I // Higher than I." He is our reliable source of strength and love, if you allow Him to be. He is always there, and not just when we're feeling weary. Jesus stands firm as our rock, solid, unmovable, and is the foundation that we can rely on.

May this song remind you that when you're anchored in His love and strength, you will find rest and hope in Him. May this song help guide you back to our Lord, our Rock, the unshakable foundation that only He can give us.

(Related scripture: Psalm 61:2; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 6:19)

"Temptation" by Dax: Fighting Spiritual Warfare Through Faith and Prayer

Have you ever felt like the battle against temptation is relentless? In his powerful track "Temptation," Dax reminds us that every moment of resistance is a victory. He doesn't shy away from the reality that "temptations outside, knocking at my door." Instead of hiding the struggle, he exposes it. He admits that while he "won the battle last night," the war continues. In other words, spiritual discipline is a daily choice. Dax explains that temptation finds safety in an "idle mind" and when we lack purpose. But most of all, he offers a strategy for triumph: "starve my flesh, then feed my spirit with faith." So, why trade your peace of mind for fleeting pleasure? The lyrics trace our struggles back to the garden and "Adam and Eve," and also point us toward redemption.  "Down by the Riverbend // in the garden, where the snake tempted Adam and Eve, // they ate the fruit and from those seeds // grew the roots of this ...

"Sunlight (Storge)" by Chelsea Chaisson: Reminisce the Simpler Times

(by Jasper Tan) Feel good, light-hearted, easy listening track. That's how I find Chelsea Chaisson's new single called "Sunlight (Storge)." I was kind of curious what the word "Storge" means, so I had to look it up. According to Wikipedia, "Storge is a Greek word that refers to natural, familial affection or love, particularly the bond between parents and children, as well as among family members and close friends. It is characterized by familiarity, dependence, and loyalty, often rooted in kinship bonds and shared experiences." Sounds very familiar? Of course, it should be, because as per the description, it actually describes what Christian love is. Or should I say how God loves us as His children? Chelsea was inspired to write this song by reminiscing about her childhood, marked by simpler times spent with her cousins and their grandma.  Countless times, we always heard the saying that we all should have faith like a child. The reason for that i...

"New Jerusalem" by whispering HOPE: When Heaven Comes Down to Heal Everything

whispering HOPE's New Jerusalem follows Revelation 21 and 22. After the final judgment has cleared the stage, God unveils a new heaven and a new earth, where the New Jerusalem descends like a bride. "Behold the New Jerusalem bright, descending robed in holy light."   "Then I saw heaven and earth made new," creation is healed, the old order gone, tears wiped away, and grief finally finished. Our hope is concrete, written down, and rooted in God's faithful reign.  The second verse is about the city's strength and welcome, with gates and foundations that echo the apostles, yet no temple at all, because God and the Lamb are the center. No sun is needed, because Christ lights up every street. The gates stay open; mercy welcomes the nations.  The bridge of the song celebrates the restored Eden: a clear river, the tree of life, healing, and servants who see God's face.  Key scriptures emphasized in the lyrics of this song are:  Revelation 21:1–2: I saw a n...
