HISTORY & TESTIMONIES
One of the crazier songs I've
written. It is based (believe it or not)
on the Old Testament teaching that, in the end times,
all that surrounds us, even horse bells and cooking pots,
will be considered "holy to the LORD" (Zechariah 14:20-21)
... brings a whole new meaning to "Revere Ware" :)
I sometimes joke with my
friends that,
after writing over 220 songs,
I may be only remembered as
" the guy that wrote the 'Duck Song' ".
Ralph Merrifield
"Have
you heard pets praise the Lord? ...
the song indeed made me want to add many pets ...
including a monkey like me!
Let the Glory of God speak to all through this song"
(Sam, from Kuwait)
"...
today there were smiles and happiness on all the faces during the practice of
"Have You Ever Heard A Duck Praise The Lord ". So many
were asking
who wrote this song and where did you get it. I told them "it is your
Uncle Ralph's song". I have translated this good children
song
into URDU."
(Samuel, from
Pakisan)
The
Pakistan Children's Choir that sang our song
"Have You Ever Heard...?" in Urdu !!
(the signs go along with the verses)
Of
all your songs, I confess that "Have You
Ever Heard...?" is
my favorite.
It breaks me out in uproarious laughter every time I hear it. :)

from Canada)

Love how they use 'Nemo' as one of their props! :)
