Since then Sons of Korah have recorded five Albums and have toured extensively around Australia and New Zealand, and more recently to America as well. Sons of Korah is a project-based band and though the line-up has changed over the years the basic concept remains the same. Sons of Korah have sought to revisit the age old tradition of sacred music, that is, music as a means of reflection on the word of God. But they have sought to do this in a contemporary way using a broad palette of acoustic sounds from latin and eastern to folk and acoustic rock. The Sons of Korah instrumental line-up presently includes percussion/drums, Guitars, mandolin, Resonator, Glisentar (a kind of contemporary eastern lute), acoustic bass, and piano accordian. The music is vocal driven and the compositions are always built around the biblical text.

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: Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oooh

Why do you boast of, evil?
Oh, you mighty men
Why do you boast all of the day
Your ways are disgraceful in the
Eyes of the Lord
Your tongue plots destruction like a blade

You wallow in deceit
And you love evil more than good
And you love lies
And every harmful word, oh lying tongue oooh
Surely God will bring you down to
Everlasting ruin
He will uproot you from the land
Then the righteous, they will see and
They will see and fear
They will laugh at him and they will say

Here is the one the one who did not make
The Lord his strength
But trusted in his wealth
And he grew strong, destroying others oooh

But I am like an olive tree
Flourishing in the house of God
I trust in Him, in His unfailing love
And I will praise You evermore
For all the things that You have done
And I will hope, I will hope in Your name




For Your name is good and I will praise You
And I will sing
In the presence of Your saints

[2Timothy 3:1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,5 They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that![Galations 5: 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. ... 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.[Romans 1:28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. 29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. 30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. 31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. 32 They know God's justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.[Romans 2:1 You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. 2 And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. 3 Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God's judgment when you do the same things? 4 Don't you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can't you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? 5 But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God's righteous judgment will be revealed. 6 He will judge everyone according to what they have done. 7 He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers. 8 But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. 9 There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil-for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. ... 11 For God does not show favoritism.[Revelation20 21:8 "But cowards, unbelievers, the corrupt, murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice witchcraft, idol worshipers, and all liars--their fate is in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death." ... 27 Nothing evil will be allowed to enter[heavenly city], nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty--but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life. [2Peter 3:9 The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for Y O Ur sake. He does not want ANYone to be destroyed, but wants EVERYone to repent.[Luke 18:....13 "But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, 'O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.' 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."[Matthew 11:28 Then Jesus said, "Come to Me, A L L of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For MY yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."[1John 1:7 But if we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from ALL sin. 8 If we claim we have no sIn, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if we confess our sIns to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sIns and to cleanse us from ALL wickedness.

Grace

Who are the promoters of such destruction? Why are we so easily inflamed by the hate of those who only want to destroy that, which keeps us in liberty? Faith in the LORD and His Word is our liberty.
The seas(peoples) rage because they have forgotten the LORD.

Scott David Lucas

.......truly, there is no hope without the Son of God, the JEWISH MESSIAH JESUS CHRIST the Lord, for the Salvation of the Soul. Ref: PSALM 51:17; ISAIAH 1:16-20; JOHN 3:3-7; ACTS 2:38. Amen.
