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
FIVE PORTICOES I've lost track of the years I've been trapped in this state A life thats been lost In infirmity's wake All hope is blown away Disappointment is here to stay I'm paying for my crimes Just an inmate doing time From time to time When the season is right The waters are troubled there's healing in sight You need to be quick off the ground To stand a chance in the press of the crowd Can you help me if you please? For I'm the man whom angels tease The years roll by with me locked in this snare When along comes a man to relieve my despair He doesn't raise his voice or shout When he enters and singles me out Take up your bed and leave For it's the hour of your reprieve He finds me again somewhat later that day Down in the temple learning to pray He said "Son you ve been made whole Sin no more less a worse fate befall" I got my second chance Down by Five Porticoe's entrance Yes I got my second chance Down by Five Porticoe's entrance
