Finding Refuge in "Eden’s In My Bones" by Elijah Neeley and Jonathan NaThalang


Elijah Neeley and Jonathan NaThalang's released a beautiful CCM song called "Eden's In My Bones," a song that combines a touch of country with a bit of alternative rock. The intent of the song is to give hope to people who are going through hard times and to remind them of God's love, patience, and presence.

Elijah Neeley and Jonathan NaThalang - Eden's In My BonesThe lyrics compare our search for refuge in God's love to that of Adam and Eve before the fall. The chorus, "You, Lord, you're my shelter," emphasizes that we don't have to bear our burdens alone. "I" changes to "we" when God is our safe haven. He wants to protect and support you and lead you away from brokenness. He doesn't want you to carry the weight of your pain on your own and will carry what you can't (if you let Him). 

An fun fact: Elijah and Jonathan originally wrote the first version of the song in just an hour. A month later, they revisited and refined the second verse to make sure that the message of hope, change, and healing was unmistakable.

"Eden's In My Bones" is a beautiful reminder that we can find peace in God's presence, no matter what challenges or battles we face. May this song encourage you to invite God into your life, because heartbreak isn't our home; God's love is.

(Related scripture: Psalm 91:1-2; Isaiah 41:10; Matthew 11:28-30)

"Psalm 112 (I'm Confident)" by Young Presley: No Fear in Bad News

What is your house built on?  We all face bad news at some point or other in life. It could be a diagnosis, a layoff, a broken relationship — the question isn’t whether hard news will come, but how you’ll respond when it happens. Young Presley wrestled with that question while he was writing his song “Psalm 112 (I’m Confident)”. The song is part of a Psalms series, coming from a simple vision: turn scripture into music that people will actually listen to. These songs are not intended as a substitute for reading the Bible, but an invitation to further read and explore the Bible. The chorus captures the key message of Psalm 112: “I do not fear bad news, I’m confident, trust in the Lord who cares to be my confidence.” That’s not the denial of bad news. It’s a decision to place your confidence and trust in God.  Look at what David wrote centuries ago in Psalm 112:7–8: “He is not afraid of bad news; his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord. His heart is steady; he will not be afrai...

"Not Far From Us" by Divine Vibes: Stop Searching. Start Reaching.

The search can end right now. The Apostle Paul stood in Athens surrounded by altars and idols — a city full of people reaching toward something they couldn’t name. Among all their shrines, Paul spotted one inscription: “To an unknown God.” That moment became the opening of one of the most powerful declarations in Scripture. The people were already searching. They just didn’t know who they were searching for. “Not Far From Us” is a collaboration between Divine Vibes and House of Purpose. The track takes that same scene and sets it to Afro House and cinematic electronic music. Created directly from Acts 17, the lyrics move like Paul’s speech itself — from observation to revelation. “I found an altar to an unknown God // This God whom you worship without knowing // This is the one I’m telling you about.” Divine Vibes doesn’t just retell the story… he pulls you right into it. What Paul told the Athenians next also applies to each of us today: “Yet he is actually not far from each one of ...

"Holy Spirit" by Tamika Tyan: When God's Presence Takes Over

The Holy Spirit is more alive than you think. Tamika Tyan wrote “Holy Spirit” during the COVID-19 lockdown — not from a place of peace, but from panic. Stuck at home, cut off from every outside outlet, she felt the walls closing in. Does it sound familiar? God met her in this totally unexpected situation (one that we all were facing), and He challenged her to use her talents to create. What came out wasn’t a quiet, reverent hymn. It was something vibrant, intimate, and electric. That’s exactly what Tamika captured in the song “Holy Spirit”. She describes the Holy Spirit as intoxicating, alive, exhilarating — and the song carries that energy. “It feels like a rush of energy has been released from You and is now flowing through me,” she sings. Like the prophet Jeremiah, who described God’s word as “fire in my bones,” she found something she simply could not contain or walk away from. Now, compare this “energy” with what is described Acts 2:4, “And they were all filled with the Holy Sp...
