Finding Refuge in Song: "Lead Me To The Rock" by Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm


Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm release "Lead Me To The Rock" in a unique collaboration across the globe. The collaboration that started with a 2-hour video call a year ago has already resulted in a joint release, and with the release of this song, it continues to bear fruits of musical inspiration and harmony.

Tom Mottershead and Maria Segerholm - Lead Me To The RockTom Mottershead is from Australia, and Maria Segerholm is from Sweden. They have a spiritual connection across the oceans, and for "Lead Me To The Rock" they have drawn inspiration from Psalm 61, as well as the challenges they each have faced in their lives. No matter what difficulties they have been through, their faith in God brings them real peace. This song beautifully describes their deepest longing for God's peace and uses the image of finding safety in Christ's arms.

The lyrics are full of biblical truth and read like an honest prayer, the kind one prays when life feels overwhelming. You can hear a cry for God's help in the lyrics, making the song very relatable if you've been going through times where life feels like a heavy weight on your shoulders.

The chorus is a look upward: "Lead me to your strength // Lead me to your love // You're in control // The anchor for my soul // Lead me to the rock // That is higher than I // Higher than I." He is our reliable source of strength and love, if you allow Him to be. He is always there, and not just when we're feeling weary. Jesus stands firm as our rock, solid, unmovable, and is the foundation that we can rely on.

May this song remind you that when you're anchored in His love and strength, you will find rest and hope in Him. May this song help guide you back to our Lord, our Rock, the unshakable foundation that only He can give us.

(Related scripture: Psalm 61:2; Matthew 11:28-30; Hebrews 6:19)

"Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective: When His People Unite, Mountains Move

(by Jasper Tan) "Living Proof" by Island Tribe Collective (featuring Sherwin Gardner, Marc Isaacs, and Alicia Taylor) is a live recording of a powerful, high-energy worship anthem that embodies what the collective calls "Caribbean Worship." The group invites us into a celebration of faith, utilizing the culture from the Caribbean islands and how they express it as a living proof of God's goodness. The song talks about our faith and the new beginnings that are promised to us after we overcome our struggles and hardships. Their repeated proclamation of "Lord, I'm living proof" aims to drive down the message that each one of us is already a living proof of God's faithfulness love, and mercy. We all have our own unique faith experiences and stories that could somehow inspire the people around us. So for those of us who have been know for our strong faith, being able to overcome our struggles and testify about it, brings a more concrete testimony an...

"Green Enough Here" by John Long: Stop Chasing More and Start Living Now

What if the life you already have is actually the life you've been looking for? That's the question that John Long's song, "Green Enough Here", is answering. This song encourages us to take a fresh look at the endless chase in the world today, the one that encourages us to get more and more and more… John invites us to slow down, stay in the present, and find beauty in the ordinary. John doesn't waste time getting to the point: "Don't waste all of your time in the fast lane // Take it easy and learn to love the process." It's a simple message, opposite to what the world is telling us… that a full life is measured by what we have achieved or our status. Contrary to what the world is telling us, it's personal relationships, raising children, staying grounded, embracing the quiet seasons, and listening to God's guidance that matter most. The second verse takes the message a step further. "I'm done letting all my failures hold m...

"Dancing In Your Light" by Ora Street Mission Band: Shining Through Everyday Acts

Ora Street Mission Band put their finger on something important with "Dancing In Your Light." It's the fact that (as Christians) we don't generate our own light, we reflect God's light. It's like the moon reflecting the sun at night. As Christians, we are called to be lights to the world! The vibe of the song draws from a rich musical palette, inspired by The Police, Weather Report, and Toto, giving the song a contemporary groove that matches the song's present-day message. The song encourages you to come into action. So, what does it look like to live as a bearer of His light? The lyrics try to compare this with a firefly lit from within, and a lighthouse holding firm before a raging sea. Each comparison points to the same truth… His light is given to be shared with others. "If he has illuminated you, then fly and be free!" Jesus declared, "I am the light of the world." This song turns that fact into a call to action. Shine, move, and...
