   About The Steve Merrick Band

Don't miss out on your copy of the CD today at elephantmanmusic.com



Your spirit will be lifted up with this high energy music. Remember how you felt when you were a child and you didn't have a care in the world? Let this fresh music wash over you and give you the same hope that you felt back then. The lyrics are built on God's Promises reminding you that you are God's special child. God is present. He is with you. Isaiah 49:15 & 16 promises that God loves You and cares for you far more than the most loving mother ever could. "He Wrote Your Name in the palm of His Hand."

Don't miss the chance to listen to more of the music. Let your worries wash away through the power of God's Spirit.Click here

The Steve Merrick Band consists of 29 different people from all around the Southern California - LA area. We are purposely ethnically and culturally diverse in order to strive after the vision God gave John of what heaven would be like in Revelation 7. "Every tribe, every tongue, and every nation gathered before the throne of God." The group was purposely formed from many different churches. Creating this recording reached beyond all of our comfort zones and got us into the space of people we might not have known otherwise.

" WORD FOR TODAY ( LOVE ) 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-8 N.I.V BIBLE " IF I , PAUL SPEAK IN TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS , BUT HAVE NOT LOVE , I AM ONLY A RESOUNDING GONG OR A CLANGING CYMBAL. IF I HAVE THE GIFT OF PROPHECY AND CAN FATHOM ALL MYSTERIES AND ALL KNOWLEDGE , AND IF I HAVE FAITH THAT CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS , BUT HAVE NOT LOVE , I AM NOTHING. IF I GIVE ALL I POSSESS TO THE POOR AND SURRENDER MY BODY TO THE FLAMES , BUT HAVE NOT LOVE , I GAIN NOTHING. LOVE IS PATIENT , LOVE IS KIND. IT DOES NOT ENVY , IT DOES NOT BOAST , IT IS NOT PROUD. IT IS NOT RUDE , IT IS NOT SELF-SEEKING , IT IS NOT EASILY ANGERED , IT KEEPS NO RECORD OF WRONGS. LOVE DOES NOT DELIGHT IN EVIL BUT REJOICES WITH THE TRUTH. IT ALWAYS PROTECTS , ALWAYS TRUSTS , ALWAYS HOPES , ALWAYS PERSEVERES. LOVE NEVER FAILS. " WE LOVE YOU! HAVE A BLESSED DAY IN THE LORD. PASTOR SOLOMON & FIRST LADY NOVELLA HORSEY.
