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
CASTLES OF FOLLY A father and son on the beach hand in hand 'Dad, lets build a castle right here in the sand' In the cool of the evening, on their knees side by side Sharing moments together, precious moments together They build it with pride The following day they return at sundown The child's happy smile has turned to a frown For the castle they built on the previous day By the incoming tide, by the incoming tide Has been swept away With much consolation homeward they turn 'Son don't be discouraged, there's a lesson to learn For we built up our castle with its towers tall and grand But we laid it's foundation, yes we laid it's foundation In the shifting sand' Well some choose for riches seeking fortune and fame Building scaffolds of folly to uphold their name But those who will follow the straight narrow way Have laid their foundation, have laid their foundation On the Rock that will stay What are you building? How long will it last? Do you build with a view to eternity Or solely with an eye on the past What are you building? How long will it last? All man made memorials All our wonderful castles of clay By the merciless tides of time Will be swept away
