The Homecoming – a song that has emerged out of the global COVID-19 crisis. We currently live in a community required to socially isolate. In this situation it’s easy to imagine that there is no capacity to join together to do creative things to glorify God. We are firm though, in our belief that God is God of grace and mercy. The song reflects the assurance that through God’s grace and mercy, this time of separation will pass and the gift of reconnecting with community shall be made all the more joyful through ‘the homecoming’.

The recording of the song was done remotely. Using a guide track, each player recorded his/her part in their own home – including the flute part recorded on a farm in northern Victoria. Recordings were then returned via email to a central point for mixing and production. The result we hope not only proves our capacity to worship God as a community even though we are apart, but also demonstrates that the worship of God can take on many forms.

We hope you are you remain safe and well and that you enjoy ‘The Homecoming’ – a celebration of the grace and mercy of God.
