[Intro – Deep melodic male lead] And in those days, When the number of the disciples Was multiplied, There arose a murmuring Of the Grecians against the Hebrews, Because their widows were neglected In the daily ministration. [Verse 1] Then the twelve called The multitude of the disciples Unto them, and said, It is not reason That we should leave The word of Elohim, And serve tables. [Verse 2] Wherefore, brethren, Look you out among you Seven men of honest report, Full of the Ruach Hakodesh And wisdom, Whom we may appoint Over this business. [Chorus – Enormous male harmonies] But we will give ourselves Continually to prayer, And to the ministry of the word. But we will give ourselves Continually to prayer, And to the ministry of the word. [Verse 3] And the saying pleased The whole multitude. And they chose Stephen, A man full of faith And of the Ruach Hakodesh, And Philip, and Prochorus, And Nicanor, and Timon, And Parmenas, And Nicolas, A proselyte of Antioch. [Bridge – Strong male vocal harmonies] Whom they set Before the apostles, And when they had prayed, They laid their hands on them. [Verse 4] And the word of Elohim increased, And the number of the disciples Multiplied in Jerusalem greatly, And a great company of the priests Were obedient to the faith. [Final Chorus – Full Havana ensemble] And the word of Elohim increased, And the number of the disciples Multiplied in Jerusalem greatly! But we will give ourselves Continually to prayer, And to the ministry of the word. [Outro – Deep harmonized male voices] And a great company of the priests Were obedient to the faith.
