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.

"Worthy Of All Praise" by Brady Jones: Finding God's Love After Searching in the Wrong Places

Have you searched for love in all the wrong places? Brady wrote “Worthy Of All Praise” at 4 am, wide awake and wrestling with some really tough obstacles that he was facing at the time. He’d spent a season chasing love in places that left him empty. At one point, he remembered who God actually is — not a distant idea, but a living, rising, never-failing presence. The lyrics capture that exact moment: “What love is like this? His love is priceless. A love that would live, a love that would die, a love that’s gonna rise again.” Brady shares: “Our God’s love transcends all understanding and his power towers over all. If there is anything that I would love my listeners to get from this song, it is that no matter where you are, and no matter how hopeless you think you are, there is a God who you can cling to and embrace through any season of life.” In Revelation 1:8 we read: “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’” Brady e...
