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

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

She broke an alabaster jar
Of exotic, rare perfume
A costly, aromatic brand
Of quality seldom seen
She squandered in a brief moment
The pride of her treasure chest
In a reckless gesture of her love
For the man from Nazareth
She did something beautiful
In her time

He grumbled for he deemed it waste
The scent split on Christ s head
It could have fetched a handsome price
And fed hungry mouths instead
But love was never in his heart
Nor philanthropy motif
For a man who cared not for the poor
A common pilferer and thief
He spoilt something beautiful
In his time

For it s not about how much we spend
Or counting up the cost
For lavish gifts that we bestow
On Christ are never lost
It s not about how much we spend
Or counting the expense
For selfless giving shuns reward
And seeks no recompense

We have so much to answer for
In the choices that we make
So take the time to make the most
Of opportunities we face
Spare no expense to show our love
In action and in thought
What we have may not seem much
But to others means a lot
If you want to make an imprint in this life
Go do something beautiful in your time
Yes, go do something beautiful with your life
