I am very excited for this third album of Brandon Heath's. It is always impressive when a artist can tour, write, compose, and record all at once, but in so doing so, he achieves a sound and a theme that would otherwise not exist. In this record, Brandon reflects on the meaning of everything as God's love for us. What is really interesting about the song "Leaving Eden" is that he says that we are leaving paradise behind, evident by the news, but then we are also going somewhere. He chooses the path going towards God as he says in the bridge of how he longs for "home". What I love about these songs on this album is that something as common as water is taken and shown God's glory through it. Brandon entitles the song as "Only Water," but water is a unique compound that makes life possible on Earth, is present at any given time in three stable physical phases, and is turned into wine as a start to Jesus' ministry on Earth. "Your Love" is the first song on this record to grab my attention. There are many questions in this life. How do we love someone more than just saying "I love you." What are we looking for in this life? What really matters in this life? What do we hope for? The answer is His love.

What you said gave me an idea so this is my interpretation:
He is saying with all the stuff that goes on in the world it is hard to feel at home any where because everywhere you go, you deal with stuff except the Lords presence. So he is sort of saying the Lords prescence is his home or makes him feel like home;and isn't home a place to feel loved and wanted so that is also the Lords presence
I think Brandon is also saying that with the way the world has become - the stranger ignoring us, robberies, etc., that we continue to turn away from God. We are God's image, so we need to love one another as He loved us. God envisioned life so perfectly for us, and we ruined it early on, and continue to do so. The song is a sad commentary on our society, but there is hope, and still time to turn back and head towards God, our true Home. He will accept us if we "go and sin no more".
This is simply a amazing song I agree with both your commits, God has given us everything and we ruined it by not staying faithful and following Gods steps, and honestly the world so bad I wouldn't be surprised if talking back any-day. And he is right because there is so much bad in the world where-ever u go & pointless hate this place dosent feel like home. Therefore when we go into out father present that will be our true home, where we can live in love and peace!
