Rorie & Maelah - Hold Me Jesus (CCM)


If you're looking for a song that will touch your heart and speak to your soul, then 'Hold Me Jesus' by Rorie & Maelah is a must-listen. This cover is a collaboration between two talented artists who have put their hearts and souls into this tribute version of the original song by Rich Mullins.

Rorie and Maelah have taken extra care to reflect the influence that Rich Mullins' music has had on their lives. The song has helped them take risks and seek to be better and more honest writers. The idea to record this cover came from a moment of spontaneity when Maelah sat at the piano and started playing a version that she had arranged, and Rorie started singing along without thinking. They both decided that it needed to be a thing, and the result is this beautiful cover.

Rorie & Maelah - Hold Me JesusThe song is kept simple with only vocals, piano, and cello, which allows the emotion and lyrics to speak for themselves. The lyrics are poignant and deeply moving, and they reflect the struggles and challenges that we all face in life. The opening verse sets the stage for the rest of the song, with the honest admission that sometimes life just doesn't make sense, and our faith can seem so small in the face of life's mountains.

The chorus is where the heart of the song lies, with the simple plea to be held by Jesus in times of fear and uncertainty. The bridge speaks to the human tendency to resist surrender, even when we know it is what we need. The final verse brings a sense of hope, with the image of a Salvation Army band playing a hymn and the grace of Jesus ringing out so deep that our resistance seems thin.

'Hold Me Jesus' is a powerful song that will speak to anyone who has struggled with faith, surrender, or simply the challenges of life. The emotion and honesty in the lyrics, combined with the beautiful vocals and music, make this cover a must-listen. So if you're looking for a song that will touch your heart and speak to your soul, give 'Hold Me Jesus' by Rorie & Maelah a listen. You won't be disappointed.

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?

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)": A Reminder of God's Faithfulness

Avery Stafford's "Manna (Come on Down)" is a beautiful reminder that God never forgets us. The song was inspired by Avery's own journey of faith. He remembers how excited he felt as a 7-year-old standing in front of a church in San Jose, CA, when he said "yes" to Jesus. Avery has that same fire and excitement for God's constant presence and provision today.  The song's title is a nod to a youth rally called Mannafest, emphasizing that God continues to provide for us amidst life's challenges, just as He provided manna in the wilderness. God reigns, even though hopelessness, loneliness, and disappointments constantly plague our world. The acts and consequences of people's choices can distract our focus from God. It is through lyrics like "Remind me, Lord, just why I need You living in my dreams" and "Spirit, come on down," that Avery calls us to remember God's unending faithfulness and reignite our initial love and de...
