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.

"Faith Like Daniel" by Marlee Smith: Praising God When the World Says No

Who do you trust when everyone disagrees? What do you do when the world says that your God doesn’t matter? Marlee Smith’s energetic pop-rock song, “Faith Like Daniel,” comes with an all-teenage female band behind her, and her response to what the world says is anything but timid. When the world feels overturned, she’ll keep “praising my Father,” even when the world says she shouldn’t. Remember what we read in the Bible about Daniel? Daniel knew that pressure. A royal decree banned prayer to anyone but the king for a period of thirty days. Daniel heard the news, went home, opened his windows, and prayed as he always had. No speeches. No protest. Just steady faith, three times a day. Then came the lions, and what happened that night in the den became a testimony. Scripture says, “No kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God” (Daniel 6:23). Daniel never trusted that his circumstances would be easy. He trusted the One who stood over them. Marlee’s message carries t...

"I’ll Rejoice" by David Dowdell: Finding Joy in God When Plans Fail

Can you praise God when nothing goes right? Empty vines. Failed crops. A barn with no animals. David Dowdell opens his song, “I’ll Rejoice”, with a list of losses that is so complete that it feels as if “there is nothing left at all.” David took his inspiration from the book of Habakkuk and wrote a defiant anthem of praise for anyone whose plans have fallen apart (… we’ve all had that happen to us, one way or another…). The song also asks the question most of us try to avoid: “What if I never get to live the life I wanted?” Will you still trust God when all you have left is “a tired and broken heart” ? Be honest with yourself. Just about everyone has a ready answer for the sunny days, but hardly an answer for the dark ones. Habakkuk didn’t pretend. He saw disaster coming and said so. Still he wrote: “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation.” (Habakkuk 3:18, ESV) Notice how this verse starts with the word “yet.” His joy didn’t wait for circumstance...

"Whoop The Devil" by Destin Dumais: Standing in Christ's Authority

Who gave you the authority to stand firm? Destin Dumais opens his debut single with an amazing sound that excites, gets you up on your feet, and gets you ready to conquer. “Whoop The Devil” is a hard-hitting country-rock song with one clear message: As believers, we hold real authority in Christ! The song starts with a cowboy scene. “Gonna saddle up and ride, ain’t no place you can hide.” Then comes the line that makes an important difference: “Been deputized, authorized.” Nobody appoints himself to this work. The badge was handed over at Calvary. Jesus said it plainly in Luke 10:19: “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.” Who gives the authority? Jesus does! This kind of confidence never relies on your strength, your mood, or your track record. This confidence rests on His name, and His name only! Does that now mean that our fears will disappear for good? Not always. Destin admits that...
