Maria Segerholm's "One Child (Acoustic Version)"


Maria Segerholm released a fresh acoustic rendition of "One Child." The original song is by Mariah Carey and co-written with Marc Shaiman, a song that deeply touched Maria since she performed it at Christmas concerts with orchestra, choir, and children's choir in Jönköping, Sweden, back in 2016. Maria normally releases original works, and this year she decided to step outside her comfort zone and release an acoustic cover of a well-known song. She not only hopes that this rendition will be appreciated by fans new and old, but even more important, that this song will shift your focus to Jesus as the true reason for the season.

Maria Segerholm - One Child (Acoustic Version)The lyrics retell the story of Jesus's birth, from the angel's visit to Mary to her journey to Bethlehem and Jesus' humble birth in a manger. Each verse reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas. The chorus emphasizes the key message of this story: "One child can change the world." Maria passionately shares this message of hope and worship, calling us to remember and celebrate Christ's birth and embrace the everlasting change that He brings to our lives. 

May this song help you to remember how "One child can change the world." He is already by your side, waiting for you to let Him into your life. Will you accept His personal gift for you?

'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...

Riley Clemmons - Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix (CCM)

Riley Clemmons has released a Christian Contemporary Music (CCM) track called Stuck Inside My Head - Single Mix. The song 'Inside My Head' was born out of a season of pain and healing. As a result, the song has a way of speaking about life's difficulties that is accessible and relatable to everyone.  "As I was writing and dreaming up this record, "says Riley, "there was never a plan to create anything but honest music, born from hurting, growing, and healing. I collected songs for this body of work much like I collected every experience I found myself in the middle of over the past couple of years... the highs & lows, the conversations with God, the questions about my identity, the heartbreak, and the healing." Although the music addresses life's hurts, it does much more than that. The trials of life, according to Clemmons, are ordained by God so we can draw close to him. "The thread that began to connect them all quickly became the idea tha...

"One True Savior" by Josh Grove: A Battle Cry of Faith and Hope

"One True Savior" is the first studio-produced single of Josh Grove, a 15-year-old Christian singer/songwriter, and what a debut this is! This is the kind of song that feels like a warm, comforting, and encouraging hug when life feels a bit too much. The lyrics remind us of God's goodness, especially when we're feeling weighed down by discouragement or "the enemy's" lies. "I was feeling down // I was buying out // Lies from the devil's mouth," the lyrics confess, and shifts with a message of hope: "But now I've been feeling close to You." Such a relatable testimony, and honestly, who hasn't been there before? This song is a battle cry, and it triumphantly declares, "I've been saved // By the One True Savior / Claimed // By the risen Jesus." As I listen, I need to constantly remind myself that Josh is a 15-year-old, because the sound of the song and its message are much more than what I expected. This song ...
