 Even as a child, Marla knew the Lord had called her into a music ministry. Today that calling has become her dream…the center of her life; it’s what keeps her grounded. Marla has worked tirelessly toward making that dream come true, and she’s been hit with many trials as she’s fiercely tried to fulfill the will of God. Believing that God always delivers exceedingly, abundantly above what’s been ask for, Marla continues to lean on the Lord for her direction. She has learned first hand how deep the message is behind this latest single!
Marla has spent years ministering and witnessing in churches all over the country fulfilling her calling, finally realizing her dream! It is her hope that the words of her most recent release will fall on the ears of the listener and remind them that the Lord does provide, and our darkest hours are only temporary…Heaven’s Got A Well!
This single, from her first album, has been a big hit and landed on many charts…it’s still hitting strong and being requested all over the country by DJ’s and fans! She has a new album due out in late 2008 titled “He Knew Me.” (see “Music” for more info). Marla has had the honor of singing on the Ryman stage, during the 2008 Fan Fair weekend for the Sunday Country Morning. She’s sung at Cowboy Churches around the country and she’s participated in benefits such as the one held at the Charlie Daniels Ranch. Her love for music (and it being the center of her life) goes all the way back to her great, great, great grandfather, Rev. Amory Nelson Chamberlin. He was a missionary to the Cherokee Indians and spoke their language fluently. In the 1800’s he even helped the government as he interpreted back and forth between the parties! He spent his entire life teaching the Cherokee tribes the love of the Lord as he led them through very difficult land. And, like Marla, he saw many hard trials as he tried to fulfill the will of the Lord; but he continued to press forward. So you see...the calling to spread a message through music, and the gift of an angelic voice, started for Marla long before she was born! Whether you’re in church, at the campfire, or at the Ryman auditorium in Nashville TN...Marla Ratliff’s voice is one you won’t soon forget! “Let us run with endurance
the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" Hebrews 12:1-2  Beyond Extraordinary...
