DESCENDANTS OF ASAPH Asaph was the first and chief musician in the early days before the temple was built in Jerusalem. By all accounts (1Chron 16v5) he was a percussionist and drummer and together with Heman and Jeduthun formed the first worship band to accompany the choir in praise and worship of God He wrote a number of psalm lyrics under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. His lyrics are very down to earth and he likes to say things exactly as they are! 'Descendants of Asaph' follow in his tradition and is a virtual band dedicated to making music and song unto the Lord and presenting His challenge to the world today through parables in music.

Story behind the song
Inspired by Lamentations chapter 3
Lyrics
THE PROPHETS LAMENT I am the man who knows affliction Struck down by the rod of Gods wrath Call me unlucky, a child of misfortune In darkness I’m doomed to walk Repeatedly He turns his hand And strikes with heavy blows My skin and flesh just waste away He has broken all my bones I’m like a city He has besieged Encircled with bitterness He’s locked me up, I can’t escape He ignores my cry of distress Is it good for a man to sit Alone and chew on dust? How long will You reject outright The man whom You have crushed? New every morning is God’s faithfulness With every sunrise his mercy goes forth The lord’s love will never cease His compassion never fails The Lord will shed abroad His light Where darkness still prevails Yet in the depths of my despair I will never give up on hope For I recall when the sun still shone In the land of honey and milk I cried out loud in my distress My plea reached to his ears The Lord has listened to my prayer His has vanquished all my fears New every morning is God’s faithfulness With every sunrise his mercy goes forth The lord’s love will never cease His compassion never fails The Lord will shed abroad His light Where darkness still prevails
