What is with the brown sofa? The CD cover has a picture of Sammy seemingly in love with this sofa - dont ask. Despite this, this is a good selection of songs, some written by Sammy himself, the rest contemporary worship (ie, Holy And Anointed, I Could Sing Of Your Love Forever). The songs written by Sammy are very good worship songs on a par with any modern worship leader you care to mention. The title track talks about straying from the path and the struggles of trying to follow God - who hasn't struggled with that at least once? This is definitely worth checking out though in a marketplace suddenly awash with contemporary worship/youth praise albums, the quality of Sammy' s songwriting and engagingly expressive voice makes it stand out. We could do with hearing more of Sammy' s own stuff, there's a talent here that needs to be heard.
