Psalm 19 Part I The Book of Creation

The heavens declare the glory of God
The night sky is His handiwork
Day after day they pour forth their speech
At night their knowledge reveal
At night their knowledge is revealed

Repeat

They speak without sound 
Not a word can be heard
But their message resounds 
through the earth
They speak without sound 
Not a word can be heard
As their words are conveyed 
to the ends of the earth

He has established a tent 
for the sun in it's course
As it daily the circuit completes
Like a strong man it runs 
through the course with joy
For none can escape from it's heat

O Lord my Rock, my Redeemer
The source of my constant delight
May the words of my mouth 
and thoughts of my heart
Be pleasing O Lord in Your sight
Be pleasing O Lord in Your sight
In Your sight

Psalm 19 Part I The Book of Creation

Idea based on the message of Hosea. "They ploughed wickedness and judgement sprung up as hemlock in the furrows of thier fields" (Hosea 10:4)

HEMLOCK IN THE FURROWS

Put the trumpet to your lips
Its time to raise the alarm
The eagle's soaring high above
Its the calm before the storm
Every idol that you carved
Lies scattered on the ground
When you were young you sowed the breeze
Now reap the whirlwind!

How can i give you up
or turn you away?
You hold a place in my heart
That no other can take
Jerusalem, Jerusalem

I can feel your sorrow
And understand your pain
For while the prophet played the fool
The wise man went insane
A house that is divided
Cannot hope to stand
You made your choice to sow the breeze
Now reap the whirlwind!

How can i give you up
or turn you away?
You hold a place in my heart
That no other can take
How can I give you up
Or turn my back on you?
With tender chords of love
I will draw you back to myself


Hemlock in the furrows

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.
