On 7–11 January 2008, Martin Smith invited the newly formed CompassionArt team, made up of various CCM artists, to Scotland for a writing retreat.<ref>{{cite web|title=COMPASSIONART SONGWRITERS BEGIN RECORDING SONGS AT ABBEY ROAD TO BENEFIT THE WORLD’S POOREST OF THE POOR|url=http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/news/2008/02/18.COMPASSIONART%20SONGWRITERS%20BEGIN%20RECORDING%20SONGS%20AT%20ABBEY%20ROAD%20TO%20BENEFIT%20THE%20WORLDS%20POOREST%20OF%20THE%20POOR.asp|website=Jesusfreakhideout.com|accessdate=16 April 2015}}</ref> During this time the group wrote 22 songs, 14 of which made their way onto the album.

One of the songs which was recorded was "Fill My Cup." This had previously been written by Delirious? as a potential song for inclusion on ''Kingdom of Comfort'', although it was never released.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}
[[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.

== Recording ==

The majority of the album was recorded around February 2008 at Abbey Road studios in London. Chris Tomlin joined the writing team, along with additional contributors [[Amy Grant]], [[Kirk Franklin]], [[tobyMac]], [[CeCe Winans]], [[Leeland Mooring]], [[Joel Houston]] and [[Watermark (band)|Christy Nockels]]. A couple of musicians were unable to travel to the United Kingdom for the recording, although their contributions were recorded in other studios around the world. Martin Smith also travelled to Uganda in order to visit the [[Watoto Children's Choir]] and record their contribution to the album. One of the songs which was recorded was "Fill My Cup." This had previously been written by Delirious? as a potential song for inclusion on ''Kingdom Of Comfort'', although it was never released.
