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)

"At The Feet (Midnight)" by Action Worship: Surrender and Rest

(by Jasper Tan) After making a review of Action Worship's song "All Praise (Dawn)" early this year (which, by the way, moved me so much), Action Worship is here once more with a beautiful follow-up single called "At The Feet (Midnight)." Continuing their songwriting sessions at a beach house retreat, "At The Feet" is a powerful and once more immersive Christian contemporary worship song that captures a raw and intimate atmosphere of worship. Like their other previously released songs, the track is anchored in a "Beach House" setting, leaning on a warm, organic, and slightly lo-fi feel as compared to the more traditional stadium worship recordings of other Worship songs. This makes the song feel more like a shared spiritual experience rather than a polished studio recording. This has always been Action Worship's greatest strength with their songs. And this creative process has definitely defined the signature sound of the Action Worship te...

"The Bottom of Myself" by Mike Janzen: Grace at Rock Bottom

"The Bottom of Myself" by Mike Janzen is a spiritual journey with an Americana-pop groove. The song invites you into a space where the dark moments of life meet light.  Have you ever felt as if you were lost in a desert storm? Then you're not alone. Janzen also knows that feeling. He beautifully captures the struggle of losing your way with the following lyrics: "Fell down in the middle of the darkness // Woke up and the world had changed // Stumbling, squinting in the daylight // Wanna run but sometimes you gotta wait." But there is more, because Janzen shows that there is hope.  Instead of running away from the pain, Janzen sings: "sometimes you gotta wait." Why? Because at the end of yourself is God. Your weakness is where His strength begins. "When the clocks tickin twelve it's true // At the bottom of myself is You," this is where truth emerges. You might be trying to find your way home, but real peace comes when you stop striving...
