Sons of Korah was founded by Matthew Jacoby and Matthew continues to co-ordinate the project. Matthew, who recently completed his doctorate in philosophy and theology at the University of Melbourne, teaches on the spirituality of the psalms and his concise commentary on the settings of the psalms is a feature that is woven through most concert events. In all things Sons of Korah seek to provide an impacting musical journey into the spirit and world of the psalms. The other regular touring members of the group are Jayden Lee, Rod Wilson and Mike Avery. In most cases Sons of Korah tour as a four piece band though they occasionally expand for bigger events.
Sons of Korah is also a partner of the Bible Societies in Australia and New Zealand and in most cases they tour in support of the work of the Bible Society.

Sons Of Korah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He makes me lie down in pastures of green
He leads me gently to waters still
And He restores my soul
He guides me always in righteous paths
For His names' sake He leads me on
Though I walk through the valley
I fear no evil, for You Lord
Are with me, You are always with me
Your rod and staff Lord, they comfort me
You set my table before my foes
And You anoint me, my head with oil
You fill my cup, it overflows
Though I walk through the valley
The valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil, for You Lord
Are with me, You are always with me
And surely goodness and love
It will follow after me
All the days of my life
I will dwell in the house
In the house of the Lord
I will live forevermore
I will live forevermore

on It's over now
It’s Over Now
My Son
My life was all poured out
Like water, water, water on the ground
I am leaving I am going to a better place
Oooh---, Oooh---
It’s over now-
My Son
In the grace of God be strong
For you must go on like a soldier
And I am leaving I am going to a better place
Oooh - It’s all over now Oooh- and I made it through somehow
The war is over
The race is run
I’ve kept the faith and it’s over now
Ladadye, Ladadye. Ladadye x2
My Son
The race was long and hard
That I stumbled I stumbled all the way
By His Mercy By His Mercy I sta-n-d-
Oooh- It’s all over now
Oooh- and I’ve made it through somehow
The war is over
The race is run
I’ve kept the faith
It’s over now-
Oooh-, Oooh- now there is for me a cro-w-n-, a crown of righteousness
Which He will give me on that day,
Which He will give me on that day,
He will give , He will give me on that day
He will give, He will give me on that day
When I see His Face
Ladadye, Ladadye, Ladadaye, (until it fades)
