NEW HOPE MUSIC - "By The Mercies Of God", by Ralph Merrifield

Encouraging people around the world since 1991 !!

By The Mercies Of God
(Romans 12:1-2)

By the mercies of God
(by the mercies of God)
I present my body
A living, holy sacrifice
My spiritual service of worship

May I not be conformed
(may I not be conformed)
to this world
But be transformed
by the renewing of my mind

That I may prove what the will of God is
That which is good and acceptable and perfect

By the mercies of God
(by the mercies of God)
I present my body
A living, holy sacrifice
My spiritual service of worship

May I not be conformed
(may I not be conformed)
to this world
But be transformed by the renewing of my mind

But be transformed by the renewing of my mind

HISTORY, TRANSLATIONS & TESTIMONIES

Written for the women of New Hope Chapel 4/29/93.
First sung by them the following day
while they were at a Spring retreat.

In August, a young lady's retreat is being planned
at which I would like to use the song "By the Mercies of God"
because the theme verse is Romans 12:1,2.
(Barbara, from New York)

Just translated into Afrikaans by
Liz from Cape Town, South Africa

Translated into Português (Brasil) by

Português (Brasil) translation

We are missionaries in Romania and Ukraine and use these songs in our
daily family devotion time as well as in the church here. We sing them in English and
put the translation of Romania up on the wall so the congregation knows what we are singing.

We have used quite a few of the songs from the website over the last few years. When we were
pastoring in South Dakota we used "I'm Grateful For The Cross" at each Communion service.
We continue to use this song in our devotions and in the Romanian Church where I preach.
We are also going to have "I Was Glad" translated. (this is one of my very favorites songs!)
and we have used this in all of the churches we have pastored in. "I Will Go"
is another of my favorites, as well as "By the Mercies of God"

I really appreciate the Scriptural basis of the music, the spirit of worship they contain,
and the simplicity that makes them great for congregational singing, (as well as keeping
it simple enough for "simple" guitar players like myself!). (Rev. Michael, from Romania)

Recorded on "New Works Of Grace"
