1. We lost our bearings, following our own mind
We left conviction behind
Fear of the future, springing from sins of the past
Hiding the hope that would last
How did we ever wander so far and
where do we go from here?
How will we know where it is?

R1: True north
There's a strong steady light that is guiding us home
True north
In the lingering night we were never alone
True north

2. Wonders of nature speak to us all of Your plan
Why would we run from Your hand
Laws of the earth, just like the laws of the heart
Only begin where You are
How did we ever wander so far and where do we go from here?
How will we find it again?

R2: True north
There's a strong steady light that is guiding us home
True north
In the lingering night we were never alone
We need an absolute compass now more than ever before
True north, True north

C: Turning back to where You meet us
We will follow where You lead us
The is Truth inside Your dwelling
We have come to face
