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)

"Lead Me To The Cross" by Tiffany Ford: Surrendering All at the Cross

Tiffany Ford's rendition of "Lead Me To The Cross" is a tribute to the original song that was released approximately 10 years ago, around the same time that Tiffany started attending church with her family. The song beautifully reflects her own journey of learning about Jesus, especially His style of teaching … not by telling people what they needed to do, but by loving, healing, serving, and through His sacrifice.  One of Tiffany's favorite lines is "Rid me of myself," a contrast to the worldly focus of more is more, and shifting focus to faith, where we have all that we need, and embrace true freedom in Him. Tiffany emphasizes the message she found behind this line: "Lay your worries, your hang ups, lay everything down at the cross and follow me. Jesus died a death he didn't deserve so that we could live freely and this song serves as a good reminder for me."   It all comes together in the lines: "Savior I come // Quiet my soul, remembe...
