Cornelius (Cecilia - Simon And Garfunkel) lyrics

Cornelius - was favored by God
He prayed to him constantly, daily
Oh, Cornelius was in the army
A pagan believer from Rome
Cornelius! An angel from God
Came straight to the spot he was praying
Oh, Cornelius! Acts 10 in verse 3
The angel said Peter must come to your home
Makin' lunch in the afternoon
Where was Peter? Up on Simon's roof
He went up on top to pray
And the Lord sent some men there to take him away
Cornelius said, "Hey, can we start?
We're waitin' upon what you're sayin'"
So Cornelius, fell down on his knees
But Peter said "Please do not" so - he got up
True salvation! They trusted in Him
They called on the Lord there on that day
To the nations that once were in sin
God opened the doors there on that day
