What God Has Made Clean

INTRO (twin highlife guitars) VERSE 1 In Caesarea lived a soldier, Cornelius, devout and kind; He gave alms and prayed to heaven, And God kept him in mind. An angel said, "Send down to Joppa, There a man named Peter stays; He will tell you words of salvation For your house and all your days." VERSE 2 On the rooftop Peter, praying, Saw a sheet let down from high, Full of beasts he called unholy; "Rise and eat," came the reply. "Not so, Lord, I've never eaten What is common or unclean." "What God has made clean, do not call common." Three times came the scene. CHORUS What God has made clean, (made clean) Do not call it common; (no, no) God shows no partiality, He welcomes every nation. Jew and Gentile, near and far, One table, one salvation; What God has made clean! VERSE 3 So Peter went to Cornelius, Found his household gathered there; Preached of Jesus, Lord of all, Anointed, crucified, and raised to bear. While he spoke the Spirit fell On the Gentiles in that place; They spoke in tongues and praised the Lord, And were baptized into grace. CHORUS OUTRO (call and response) Every nation! (He welcomes) Every tribe! (He welcomes) Every tongue! (He welcomes) What God has made clean!
