MANY 

Many oh Lord are Your wonderful works
Which You have done
Day after day Your glory shines forth
With the strength of the midday sun
Who can recount the works of the Lord
Which He has done
Day after day their number mounts up
Who can recall their sum
Who can declare the works of the Lord

Many oh Lord are Your tender thoughts
Shown unto me
More than the countless stars in the sky
Or grains of sand by the sea
If I would try to count them all
Then I should fail
No one can fathom the depth of the love
That fastened those hands to the nails
Many oh Lord are your tender
Many oh Lord are your tender

No one can fathom the depth of the love
That drove those hands through the nails
Many oh Lord are your tender
Many oh Lord are your tender
Many oh Lord are your tender
thoughts to me

Psalm 40 Many

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.
