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
UNTO US Shadows steal across the silent desert sands Night falls hard as sunlight fades A myriad of silver stars survey the lonely road Nearing journey’s end, her time draws near Yesterday a child, today the call of motherhood It’s busy on the streets in downtown Bethlehem On this the birth of Christmas eve An anxious father shops around for room and board Time and time again he’s turned away There’s nothing left in town but a run down one star cattle shed For unto us, unto us a son is given Unto us, unto us a child is born As shepherds slumber with their flocks upon the hills Beneath a starlit canopy A band of restless angels burst upon the peaceful scene And to everyone’s bewilderment Eternal mysteries in choral song reveal I fasten tinsel to the tree on Christmas eve And pour a glass of festive cheer And while I warm myself beside the open hearth A mother wraps her newborn child in rags And baby Jesus draws first breath Sweet stench of cattle hide For unto us, unto us a son is given Unto us, unto us a child is born The government shall rest upon his shoulders The destiny of all mankind placed in such tiny Hands
