Encouraging saints around the world

Our background MIDI is
"Center Of My Soul",
written by Ralph Merrifield,
arranged by Hiland Overgaard (from Minnesota)
I began rejoicing
immediately as the song ("Center Of
My Soul")
began to play and I felt the anointing of God all over me,
guiding me into what I call "true worship".
The words and music are
pure - from the throne of God and from a
heart & vessel that is humble and desires to please God.
( Linda, from New
Hampshire)
MORE TESTIMONIES ABOUT THIS SONG
From
1986 to 1993, Rev. Wayne Anderson led a series of spiritual intimacy
seminars at Crossroads. Among the topics covered were "Abba
Father"
"Grace, Faith and Focus" and "Silence, Solitude and
Prayer".
This song, and many others, were inspired by those teachings.
This
song has been sung by a Messiah College student fellowship,
a worship team in Canada and
church choirs in Pennsylvania & New Jersey !!
Two choirs from Bishop Lavis, Cape
Town ( South
Africa) recently sent me
a recording of them singing 7 New Hope Music songs! Thank you !!!

"Your song has touched the hearts of all of us here in
Browns Mills. I think I told you about Evelina....
she suffers from cancer and is fighting for her life.
Your song has been her inspiration. We made a tape for her
and she plays it whenever she is undergoing treatments, or recuperating,
plus in the car, and during moments of quiet.
If no one else ever benefits from it,
you have success with Evelina.
It has given her strength to go on...."
(Ebba, from New Jersey)

Center
Of My Soul
As the only pastor of a
small church, I struggle finding music that is tasteful and worshipful.
I praise God that I found your website. I have used " Center Of My Soul"
and " Bringing
The Presence Of Jesus" in my church, and they have been met with great
response. Thank you, especially for the PDF files with the music
notation. I have a couple of talented pianists, and this makes it
possible to enjoy your music to the fullest.
Your spirit and generosity are exemplary. I look forward to visiting your site regularly to find all the “goodies” you put out there." (Pastor Starett, from Indiana)

I am a Baptist
Assistant Pastor's wife, we lost our firstborn (adult) daughter
2 years ago. I am singing "Center
Of My Soul" in church tomorrow night.
("once I was broken, now I'm whole") makes me think that hymn
was written just for me. Thank you and God Bless.
