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.

"A Love Song" by Seek and Surrender: The Three-Stranded Covenant

(By Jasper Tan) We always see people say "I love you" to someone, professing their love to that significant other. But we often see how a marriage united by love easily shreds to tatters, and we ask ourselves, "Why?" Where did it all go wrong? How did something joined together by love easily get broken and be accepted as "falling out of love"? But the biggest thought that comes to mind while listening to Seek and Surrender's latest song, "A Love Song," is: do we really understand what it feels like to love? In Seek and Surrender's song, there are countless lines in which the singer professes his love to his bride. It seeks to highlight the sincerity of his love, the magnanimity, the pureness. But in those lines, there's this line that we all should focus on —  "If Christ gave Himself for His bride, Oh, then I'll give myself for mine." Do we know how Christ gave himself for his bride (the Church)? He sacrificed himself w...

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics

John Mayer's Secret to Writing Catchy Song Lyrics by Kapa Freeman  Why are John Mayer's song lyrics so easy to remember? It comes down to human psychology. I am notoriously bad at remembering song lyrics, except for John Mayer's Songs. Other artists may write a song I remember here or there, but John Mayer does it consistently. Why? I discovered the reason when I was working full-time as a teacher. Teachers can always tell when they're losing students. When those eyes start to glaze over, when that one eyebrow raises in confusion and someone yells out... "I don't get it!"  I got those a lot when I first started teaching. Talking to other teachers, I soon discovered why. I was giving too much information at once. I would vomit these elaborate explanations, thinking that more information would help clear things up... But they just got confused. Talking to my teachers reminded me of lessons I'd learned while getting my teaching degree:  "People remem...

'Lonely Dirt Road' by Dax: A Journey to Solitude and God

Dax's 'Lonely Dirt Road' is a conversation that Dax has with himself and God. Dax shares his journey of turning mental health walks into healing solitary drives. 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? That lonely dirt road that Dax sings about symbolizes solitude, but it is also an incredible opportunity for connecting with God.  Dax's honesty is raw and relatable. 'I didn't want my family to see me cry… dealing with the pressure of trying to provide.' There are times when we all put on a smile to hide how challenging situations may be. Like his father, Dax says that he finds peace on this lonely road, where challenges become opportunities to grow. This shows the core of our faith: that...
