Music has taken the young members of Edens Edge on an intriguing journey and they are thankful for the ride. “We’ve really grown up together and we’ve moved here and created a life together and I think that kind of history is organic,” says Dean. “We came together naturally-- just for the purpose of having fun and playing music. That’s part our chemistry- we’re all doing something that we love together.”
Cherrill and Hannah agree. “We’ve grown together and changed together,” says Cherrill while Hannah adds, “We’ve found or have written music that moves us and inspires us. We just trust that the music will speak for itself. You do what you do and hope people will love it and can connect with it because our first love--as much as we love playing and writing music--our first love is inspiring others through music.”
Too Good to Be True was released in April 2012 as the group's second single, and their self-titled debut album was released via Big Machine Records on June 12, 2012.
In March 2013, it was announced that Edens Edge had parted ways with Big Machine Records and that member Hannah Blaylock had left the band.
Christ Alone
Edens Edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm measured up by depth and girth
The Father says now what's he worth
May he see Jesus death and birth
Don't measure me by dollar signs
Or bricks and mortar you may find
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
The value of this life I've lived
How did I love, did I forgive
Where did my treasure truly lay
How did I start and end each day
Don't measure me by battles won
Or some good deed that I have done
By Christ alone will I be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown
May be a pauper or a king
Have nothing or have everything
The question begs, do you belong
Do you sing a resurrection song
Measured by the master's hand
On only one truth can we stand
By Christ alone will we be found
Worthy of that golden crown
Worthy of that golden crown
In the song "Christ Alone" by Edens Edge, the lyrics explore the idea of how individuals are measured and valued during their lifetime and after their passing. The song discusses the importance of not measuring one's worth by earthly possessions such as money or material objects, but rather by how they loved and forgave others and where they placed their treasure. The lyrics ask the listener to reflect on whether or not they belong in the kingdom of heaven and whether they can sing a "resurrection song."
The chorus emphasizes the idea that only through Christ can one be found "worthy of that golden crown," highlighting the belief that salvation and eternal life can only be achieved through faith in Jesus. The song suggests that when an individual is ultimately measured by the "master's hand," their worth will be determined by their relationship with Jesus and how they lived their life in accordance with his teachings.

When I fly off this mortal earth

They cam back home to Russellville last night. AMAZING Concert! They closed with this song. They recognized the man who wrote it. His name is Steve Smith and he is a worship leader at my church and I have the amazing honor of getting to sing/play along side him and the whole worship team at my church! Dean's family and Hannah's family attends church at ours and hopefully since they are home for Christmas, they will sing with us again Sunday! Steve mentored the band, and taught Dean how to play(:
