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
A tribute to reluctant heroes everywhere who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of God and fellow man
Lyrics
WHERE HEROES FALL Did you confuse me with someone else When you branded me a hero Placed a ribbon around the neck Of an inconsolable widow Do you believe thoughts of bravery filled My mind when pressed on every side Or courage was the driving force When fate plucked me from the crowd? There was no time to contemplate The consequence of course or action Ponder the value of the cause No time for introspection Our final thoughts a secret to the grave As we reach far beyond where duty calls Lay down our lives, say a fond farewell At the place where heroes fall Were they gallant in their noble deeds Did their faith shine clear and bright When they were plucked from obscurity And thrust into the world's limelight Did courage rise, were their doubts soon dispelled As their feet reached the point of no recall Were their heads held high with that final step To the place where heroes fall? We will remember with deep gratitude Their sacrifice upon life's altar Lay a wreath to commemerate lest We forget their acts of valour A candle flickers through a window pane There's a plaque to remind us on the wall Where we bow our heads, say a final prayer At the place where heroes fall Copyright 2004 Alan Paul
