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
BY THE RIVERS OF BABYLON (My Highest Joy) By the rivers of Babylon We sat and wept When we remembered Zion How we choked on our regrets By the rivers of Babylon We hung our guitars For Sale In a Babylonian street bazaar In the gardens of Babylon We hung our heads and cried How can we sing the Lords song With such emptiness inside In the gardens of Babylon How can we sing the Song of the Lord While in a strange and foreign land If I forget you, Jerusalem Or let another song my voice and skills employ Should I forget you, Jerusalem Or place another love above my highest joy
