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.

Lyrics
Psalm 22 A Cry of Anguish My God, my God why have you forsaken me Why so far away in my time of need? I cry by day but Your ears are closed By night but Your lips are sealed You brought me forth From my mother's womb Led me to trust Before I was weaned At my mother's breast Thrust in Your arms on the day of my birth You are my God the source of my strength ever since the day I was born But You Oh Lord be not far from me Oh My Strength hasten to my help Deliver my life from the power of the dog My soul from the lion's mouth I've been surrounded, by bulls encircled They foam with raging mouths Do not forsake me in my distress No one but You can help Poured out like water heart melts like wax My strength has dried up All my bones are broken Put out of joint With nails they pierced My hands and feet I feel their gaze As they gloat over me And throw dice for my clothes But You Oh Lord be not far from me Oh My Strength hasten to my help Deliver my life from the power of the dog My soul from the lion's mouth But You Oh Lord are enthroned on high In the praises of Your people Israel God of our fathers in ages past Our hope in these troubled times in these troubled times in these troubled times
