" Ralph -- and other
fellow worshipers --
Never underestimate the power of a song.
Even a very simple song can be a life changing instrument in God's hand.
In fact, the Scripture says that 'the Lord is our strength and our song.'
Think about that... He is our song! It's more than words and
music... it's Jesus!
I want to personally
commend you in how you have faithfully provided a service
to communicate songs between songwriters and worshipers.
It enriches the life of the Church. Blessings,"

"Greetings
from the UK.
It's an honour to be featured on Ralph Merrifield's new
website.
Ralph and
I have enjoyed several chats on the telephone
about worship and worship songs
over recent months.
He's a great enthusiast and very keen to serve all
those
involved in facilitating the worship of the churches.
I met him over
in Boston at the beginning of 2003
whilst ministering at the
Vision New England Conference
and was intrigued to hear all about his vision for
New Hope Music.
This
website has become a popular stopping off place
for those seeking resources for
worship leaders and
church music groups, as well as individuals
seeking
encouragement on their own spiritual journeys. Enjoy!"

"Knowing You", "Shine, Jesus, Shine"
"Amazing Love" and many other classics)
"Jesse
marched-out his magnificent sons before the prophet
as candidates to be selected King. However, God had a
ruddy youth of 15 off singing with the sheep out in the hills.
God
is still choosing all the unknowns, the little ones,
to do the greatest feats for Him... New Hope
Music is already
doing wonders around the world for God and I know
He will not forget the ministry they have done
for His Kingdom here on the earth.
Thank you, Ralph, for your friendship over the years."
