[Intro – Soulful female lead] There was a man in Caesarea Named Cornelius, A centurion serving In the Italian regiment. [Verse 1] He was a devout man Who feared Elohim Together with his household. He gave generously To those in need And prayed to Elohim Continually. [Verse 2] About the ninth hour of the day, He clearly saw a vision. An angel of Elohim Came to him And called his name, Cornelius. He looked at the angel And was afraid. He said, What is it, Master? [Chorus – Beautiful female harmonies] Your prayers and your gifts Have come up as a memorial Before Elohim. Your prayers and your gifts Have come up as a memorial Before Elohim. [Verse 3] Now send men to Joppa, And call for Simon, Who is also called Peter. He is staying with Simon the tanner, Whose house is beside the sea. He will tell you What you must do. [Bridge – Flowing charanga strings] When the angel Who spoke to Cornelius Had departed, He called two household servants And a devout soldier Who regularly served him. [Verse 4] He explained everything That had happened, Then sent them To Joppa. [Final Chorus – Full female ensemble] Your prayers and your gifts Have come up as a memorial Before Elohim. Your prayers and your gifts Have come up as a memorial Before Elohim. [Outro – Gently fading] He explained everything That had happened, Then sent them To Joppa.
