I've been working on mixing down some tracks for a new worship album.  These are just a few i'm playing with.  You can also find these over on my AUDIO CLIPS page - which had some tragic errors in it - all should now be fixed with song titles pointing to correct tracks.Strongerhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfForever Reignhttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfHow He Loveshttp://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfHosanna Hillsong)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swfRevelation Song (Acoustic)http://dl.dropbox.com/u/87743143/JS%20Blog/Site/Flash_Stuff_files/player.swf
