Arranged and produced by Pastor Erwin Black of the Victory Christian Church Worship Team from Eastern Cape, South Africa and created as a tool to engage God in reflection, the five recordings here are takes from spontaneous songs "created during a season of meditation and simple ideas that came out of those meditations." Erwin says, "The purpose of this particular CD is to encourage the people to sit and soak in God's presence and to feel His love." Present throughout are Gregorian undertones of melodic repetition placed within a modern musical setting of harmonies and subtle instrumentals. Well worth listening to is "Reflections Of Love"- a piano instrumental with contributions from violin and cello. "With Me" is a slow and melodic declaration of faith based around a gently strummed acoustic guitar joined by a smooth and enjoyable mix of higher voices in an acknowledgement of the protection that is offered by God's love. Opening with a tinkling piano overlaid with a spoken introduction, "Seek Me" advocates those in search to look to God. The 20 minute long "I Found My Home" piano, guitar and vocals blend provides a tranquil and unhurried background that can be used as a platform for consideration and reflection.
