[Intro – Heavy live drums and distorted guitar] [Verse 1 – Gritty male baritone] And the apostles and brethren That were in Judaea heard That the Gentiles had also received The word of Elohim. And when Peter was come up To Jerusalem, They that were of the circumcision Contended with him. [Verse 2 – Driving funk rhythm] Saying, You went in To men uncircumcised, And did eat with them. But Peter rehearsed the matter From the beginning, And expounded it by order Unto them, saying, [Chorus – Huge male backing harmonies] The Gentiles had also received The word of Elohim! The Gentiles had also received The word of Elohim! [Verse 3 – Commanding male lead] I was in the city Of Joppa praying, And in a trance I saw a vision. A certain vessel descend, As it had been a great sheet, Let down from heaven By four corners, And it came even to me. [Verse 4 – Hard-driving blues-rock] Upon the which When I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, And saw fourfooted beasts Of the earth, And wild beasts, And creeping things, And fowls of the air. [Pre-Chorus – Rising Hammond organ] And I heard a voice Saying unto me, Arise, Peter, Slay and eat. [Bridge – Heavy syncopated drums] But I said, Not so, Master! For nothing common or unclean Has at any time Entered into my mouth. [Final Chorus – Thunderous male ensemble] Not so, Master! For nothing common or unclean Has at any time Entered into my mouth. The Gentiles had also received The word of Elohim! [Outro – Gritty guitar and brass] And Peter rehearsed the matter From the beginning, And expounded it By order unto them.
