Writing
Delirious? singer Martin Smith founded the CompassionArt charity with his wife, Anna Smith, after being moved by the poverty suffered by people in many of the countries he had visited on tour. The final Delirious? album Kingdom of Comfort was heavily influenced by these experiences. In early 2008, he invited the newly formed CompassionArt team, made up of CCM artists from around the world, to Scotland for a writing retreat. During this time the group wrote twenty two songs, fourteen of which made their way onto the album. All the artists attended the retreat apart from Chris Tomlin, who was unwell.
