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)

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax: Half the Weight, Double the Faith

"Man I Used To Be" by Dax is a very personal song. Dax had promised himself that he wouldn't release new music until he'd stayed sober for six months, the time he needed to get his priorities straight and clear his mind. "Man I Used To Be" is the sound of his first clean breath, life with God by his side. Dax lays it bare: "Trials and tribulations, all my past trauma," he acknowledges, along with "generational curses from daddy and mama," and the "addictions that clouded my eyes." The honesty about his past struggles makes the message of this song so relatable and powerful.  The chorus is about the moment that the script was flipped, "I'm half the man I used to be." Not a broken man, but a man who has been freed from the burdens that weren't his to carry and kept him from God. "I don't ever chase, I got God," declaring that his new identity is anchored in faith. It's a shrug and a testimo...

'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...
