[Intro – Commanding sung male lead] The Elohim of our fathers Raised up Yahushua, Whom you slew And hanged on a tree. [Verse 1] Him has Elohim exalted With His right hand To be a Prince and a Saviour, For to give repentance to Israel, And forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses Of these things, And so is also the Ruach Hakodesh, Whom Elohim has given To them that obey Him. [Chorus – Massive male harmonies] And we are His witnesses Of these things! And so is also the Ruach Hakodesh, Whom Elohim has given To them that obey Him! [Verse 2] When they heard that, They were cut to the heart, And took counsel to slay them. Then stood there up one in the council, A Pharisee named Gamaliel, A doctor of the law, Had in reputation Among all the people, And commanded To put the apostles forth A little space. [Verse 3] And said unto them, You men of Israel, Take heed to yourselves What you intend to do As touching these men. For before these days rose up Theudas, Boasting himself to be somebody, To whom a number of men, About four hundred, Joined themselves. Who was slain, And all, as many as obeyed him, Were scattered, And brought to nought. [Verse 4] After this man rose up Judas of Galilee In the days of the taxing, And drew away much people After him. He also perished, And all, even as many As obeyed him, Were dispersed. [Bridge – Rhythmic male harmony] And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, And let them alone. For if this counsel Or this work be of men, It will come to nought. [Final Chorus – Thunderous male chorus] But if it be of Elohim, You cannot overthrow it! Lest haply you be found Even to fight against Elohim! But if it be of Elohim, You cannot overthrow it! [Outro – Deep sung male lead] Lest haply you be found Even to fight against Elohim.
