Canadian-born Ben Cantelon is now, of course, the latest worship leader/songwriter to benefit from the huge exposure of the Soul Survivor conferences. His talent was in evidence as many of the songs followed well the tradition of some of the great hymns declaring the wonderful truths revealed about God. However the layered-guitar sound, though well put together in the States by Dwayne Larring, has become simply too generic. Despite this I was impressed with "Carry On" where Ben sings a heartfelt encouragement to those who are wearying on the Christian journey. I was also stirred by the title track - an anthemic prayer to go on with God through the wilderness. And I was touched by the line in "You Alone" that says "in my loss and pain you are here". But overall I wished he had gone further. Not only could Ben have painted a more descriptive picture of the works of God, but also reflected more on our frailty as we chase after him. Nevertheless, there are some atmospheric songs here crisply delivered and no doubt Ben's full length debut will sell well to the young worshippers touched by his ministry.
