This song is a re-write of a piece I wrote in '09 (I think). My wife re-wrote the lyrics last year at Compass Summer Conference (www.venn.org.nz). We had been reflecting on the Creation, Fall, Redemption Story of the Bible and decided to try and put that into a form we could present at the creative presentation night. I felt like I had grown since I wrote the song and wanted to revise my thoughts about how God has not created me to endure this life and then get out of here but to try and be a part of building his kingdom and then looking forward to his coming when he will come and dwell with us:
"Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth," for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” Rev 21:1-4
Originally the song was called 'Heaven is Home' but Compass was the culmination of me realising that our deepest rest is in God himself and we look forward to his final 'Mend of the World'. Heaven is when we will finally be with Christ and I look forward to that day.

lyrics
Good morning, Creations waiting for a word
Skies and seas and rocks and birds
Beauty spoken seen and heard
My darlings, Welcome to this world its time To rule this place dear child of mine
Bless, tend, keep and be a sign
Oh, Creation is His throne,
Full of Love He's shown,
Made to be our home
Made to be our home
Where are you? Covered now we feel ashamed
Creation feels the weight of pain
What once was joyful now is strained
Lost Wandering through this desert land,
Everything I taste is bland, Dare we hope there is a plan?
Oh, we're longing for a home,
A place to cease our roam,
Are we left alone? Are we left alone?
He came, Though He was not recognised,
To fix the broken, shame the wise,
Free the captives, open eyes.
Dying, Heavens precious only Son,
For the broken, distant ones,
The sacrifice at last was done.
Oh, ascended to the Throne,
Our Father can be known An invitation home, An invitation home.
Don't worry, Restoration is to come,
Transformation will be done, Blessing, wholeness, for gathered ones.
At last, Redemptions story will be told,
Rest and peace as was foretold
Creation once more shot with gold.
Oh, Creation is His throne,
Never on our own,
Heavens coming home,
Heavens coming home
