About the Song
As written by Ralph Merrifield, ""Now Our God" was written August 5, 2000 at Fransted Campground in Franconia New Hampshire (around 1pm). My family and church friends were attending a 4-day outdoor Christian concert (Inside-Out Soul Festival). Everyone else in the group had gone off to the concert, and I remained behind, alone, waiting for a friend to arrive from Massachusetts. I had been going through a significant "dry-spell" in songwriting, and had asked the Lord to use this camping trip to help me write again.
