[Intro – Warm female lead] As Peter entered, Cornelius came to meet him, Fell down at his feet And worshipped him. [Verse 1] But Peter lifted him up and said, Stand up, I myself am only a man. And as Peter spoke with him, He went inside And found many people Gathered together. [Verse 2] And Peter said to them, You know that it is considered unlawful For a Jewish man To associate with someone Of another nation. But Elohim has shown me That I must not call any man Common or unclean. [Chorus – Rich female harmonies] Elohim has shown me That I must not call any man Common or unclean. Elohim has shown me That I must not call any man Common or unclean. [Verse 3] That is why I came Without objection As soon as you sent for me. So I ask you, Why have you called for me? Cornelius answered, Four days ago, At this very hour, I was fasting. At the ninth hour, I was praying in my house, When a man appeared before me In shining clothing. [Verse 4] He said, Cornelius, Your prayer has been heard, And your gifts to the needy Are remembered before Elohim. Send men to Joppa And call for Simon Peter. He is staying with Simon the tanner, Whose house is beside the sea. When he comes, He will speak to you. [Bridge – Beautiful melodic harmonies] So I sent for you immediately, And you have done well To come here. Now we are all gathered In the presence of Elohim, Ready to hear everything Elohim has commanded you To tell us. [Final Chorus – Full female choir] Now we are all gathered In the presence of Elohim, Ready to hear everything Elohim has commanded you To tell us. [Outro – Gentle flute] Elohim has shown me That I must not call any man Common or unclean.
