lyrics

“Carry them in Your house,
that they may knit together as We are.
Let my great gladness abound in them.
Do not pluck them out of the world.

“Set them apart in Your promises.
Come like a violent, rushing wind
and set the good news upon their tongues for
the work to which they are called in You.

“As You are surrounded by me,
and I surrounded by You, unite
them in Us; that the world may trust
our harmony.

“The glory which You granted
me I leave to them. Keep them
with me where I am.
As You are surrounded
by me and I surrounded by You, unite...”

Of Asaph is the music of Jim & Cherie Alleman.
Produced at home by Jim Alleman.

Jim mostly plays instruments, and Cherie mostly sings, with some much appreciated help from our friends:

Violin, Viola and Cello performed by Nady Benyamine.
Choir arrangements by Leslie Taylor.

Additional vocal performances by Brooke Graham, Ryan Graham, Jonathan R. Rice, Leslie Taylor, Nick Tucker, and Chris Waterman.

Installation help from Sarah Alleman, Don Ball, and Johnathan R. Rice.

Big thanks to Joshua Wheeler and Richard William Rich for their insight during the recording process. And to Don Ball and Ward Presbyterian Church for the use of a gorgeous Steinway that Jim was absolutely under-qualified to play.
