Aquila (Parody of "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull) - ApologetiX

Renting an apartment

Riding round the world and making tents

Claudius ran him out Rome

He’s the king who said they had to go

Hey, Aquila

Trying to preach God’s Son

Up against the pagan pantheon

Hey, Aquila

With his wife Priscilla

Preaching 'bout Jesus and His hope and love

Oh, Aquila

Once he left Rome

We all met up in Corinth

Makin' tents, you know the way we sew

They’ve heard the facts

As the friends of this apostle

Goin' down to the hall to watch me preach

BREAK

Leavin' your home

Discardin' all your goods

Salvation on the road is enough for me

Aquila, my friend, though it’s not a way that’s easy

The Lord our God will see to all your needs

Do you still remember — we met in Acts 18?

Preaching Christ for nearly two long years

To Corinthians that believed

Hey!

And you passed the test there in Ephesus

When even I’d left town

And Apollos you guys planted in the faith

REPEAT CHORUS

De de de de —

Aquila, my friend, though it’s not a way that’s easy

The Lord our God will see to all your needs

Whoa!

Aquila!

How they pronounced it in the movie «A.D.»

and is one of two ways

Of pronouncing it, although most preachers seem to pronounce it
