This song, written by Joel many years ago, is a plaintive cry , a hope that all of uscan better understand the great gift of the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and thetransformative blessings it can bring to each of our lives. If only we fully understoodHis sacrifice for us, there would be nothing we wouldn’t be willing to do to bring Himmore completely into our lives.

We were blessed to be able to record two albums of country music in Nashville,which represented a huge opportunity for us. We wrote a few original songs, andgathered some of the best music we could find from other writers, both at home inUtah and in the Nashville community, to create Close to Home and No Love Lost.The experience of working with such talented people and learning to work in anothergenre of music was an unforgettable memory.

Sometimes the search for faith and meaning in life comes ‘one step at a time’, oreven a step forward and a step back. It can sometimes feel as though we aren’tmaking the consistent progress toward heaven that we would hope, but the messageof this song is that our Heavenly Father is at least as interested in our direction asHe is in our current position.

A favorite phrase from the New Testament inspired this song, a reminder that noteven a sparrow can fall from heaven without our Heavenly Father’s notice. He seesus in every moment and every trial, and loves us no matter our choices—His onlygoal is to bring us home.
