Not Food, but People (song)
[Verse 1]
Before the flood in Noah’s day,
The clean and unclean were known;
Yahweh showed what man could eat,
His wisdom clearly shown.
Some were created to be food,
Some had another part;
His instructions were given in love,
For those who seek His heart.
[Chorus]
It was not food, but people,
That Peter’s vision showed;
From every tribe and nation,
Yahweh calls us to His fold.
“Call no man common or unclean,”
The meaning Peter knew;
The animals were symbols—
Yahweh’s Word remains true.
[Verse 2]
Peter saw the lowered sheet
And heard the words, “Arise”;
But he had never eaten unclean—
Not once within his life.
While Peter wondered what it meant,
The Gentile servants came;
Then Yahweh sent him to their home
To proclaim Yeshua’s name.
[Chorus]
It was not food, but people,
That Peter’s vision showed;
From every tribe and nation,
Yahweh calls us to His fold.
“Call no man common or unclean,”
The meaning Peter knew;
The animals were symbols—
Yahweh’s Word remains true.
[Bridge]
Yahweh shows no partiality;
All nations may draw near.
Those who turn and follow Him
Are welcomed without fear.
The Spirit fell upon them,
And everyone could see:
Gentiles, too, were called to life—
Forgiven and made clean.
[Final Chorus]
It was not food, but people,
That Peter’s vision showed;
From every tribe and nation,
Yahweh calls us to His fold.
“Call no man common or unclean”—
Acts ten makes it clear:
The vision welcomed people;
Yahweh’s food laws did not disappear.
[Outro]
Call no man common or unclean;
Let Yahweh’s truth be heard.
His welcome reaches every nation,
And faithful stands His Word.
