really great voice and music..hello my name is Pastor Cody Blake and I like your music alot..I have 4 new tunes up here and would love for you to check them out. God Bless
this song is fantastsic. I heard it on the radio when I was in North Carolina for Christmas. I turned the volume up so loud, that the trumpets like to have blew me away. I really would like to get the soundtrack.
Just like your music always was; Christ honoring, holy, and a joy to listen to. Thank you for having used your musical gift.
Mr Dan! What a blessing your music is. Simply outstanding. I listened to "Your House"...awesome song. Listened to a couple of others too and I'll be back as I want to hear them all. God's continued blessing on your music and life sir. Love in Christ, Diane Barnes aka Godzgirl7
