Maria Segerholm's "My Praise Will Never End" tells a remarkable story how she reclaimed hope in the most unlikely place - a hospital bed at 3am, just hours after suffering a stroke. Today, September 30th, marks one year since that terrifying night, and Maria chose to release this song on this very date. Powerful, right?
What gets me is the first line of the bridge "May One name remain, Jesus," and this has extra meaning when you realize where it came from. Maria was facing the possibility of losing her ability to speak, so she prayed, "Lord, if I'll lose my speech, may one name remain; Jesus." Her prayer is repeated when she sings "may one name remain, Jesus, You're worthy of praise." She wants to keep pointing people to Christ, that is what matters the most.
Maria partnered with producer Eric Sullivan for this song. This song follows her lament EP "From the Ashes," and shows her journey from grief to gratitude. The song is authentic and honest. And it shows that declaring "my shield, my strength, my one defense" isn't about denying pain, but that it is about choosing to worship no matter what.
