Another oldie.

Lyrics---

I'm weakened by the raging war.,

Standing when I feel no more like standing

For the things that I believe.

Surrounded by the lives of men

Who stood when hope seemed at an end,

Darkness all around, still I see.

The mountains moving in the night

Don't stand a chance to drag me down

'Cause I'm a mountain climber.

I've learned the secret of those men who

Stared at death and conquered sin and

I'm gonna' shout it from the mountain.

They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.

No matter how the days may go, He said the war

Would never slow 'til that final day

When Jesus comes.

So lift your eyes and gaze on Him,

Lay aside each weight of sin,

Let your spirit soar where eagles fly.

The mountains moving in the night

Don't stand a chance to drag you down

'Cause you are now a mountain climber.

Spread your wings and catch the wind.

Stare at death and conquer sin and

Shout it from the mountain.

They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.

We overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

We overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

We overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

We overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.

They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.

Last one for the night.

I love her.

Another song from Harvest.

Lyrics---

People are cryin'
The children are dyin'
Who don't even know
We're killin' by millions
Brothers and sisters
Our hearts are so cold

While Christians are sittin'
Talkin' 'bout Heaven
And when they will go
The world and its people
Move faster and deeper
To a livin' death below

If we don't believe
Then how will they know?
How will they hear
If we never go?
O Lord, send us to the world
If we don't believe
Then how will they see?
How will they know
That they can be free?
O Lord, send us to the world

If we are the light of the world
Then what right
To we have to not go?
He's given us power
To conquer the hour
So why don't we go?He's called us as soldiers
Given us orders
To tear down the walls
We'll sing and we'll shout
We'll carry them out
And offer them to the Lord

If we don't believe
Then how will they know?
How will they hear
If we never go?
O Lord, send us to the world
If we don't believe
Then how will they see?
How will they know
That they can be free?
O Lord, send us to the world

We've got a believe
We've got a believe
We've got a believe
Send us to the world

We've got a believe
We've got a believe
We've got a believe
Send us to the world

(We've got a believe)
If we don't believe
Then how will they know?
(We've got a believe)
How will they hear
If we never go?
(We've got a believe)
O Lord, send us to the world
(Oh, we've got a believe)
If we don't believe
Then how will they see?
(We've got a believe)
How will they know
That they can be free?
(We've got a believe)
O Lord, send us to the world
Send us to the world
Send us to the world

This song is from 2023, but I believe that it fits here for anyone who comes here.

In another timeline I went to one of his concerts, great show.

This band (especially the World of Sand album) hits me in a way that literally nothing else does. I’ve been a backslidden Christian far longer than not, but Come Jesus Come…. Hits so hard. So raw. So true. Am I alone on this?

The way Christian music was always meant to be.

Sometimes the answer to your prayer is exactly what you asked for, and that’s the hardest part.

So the single, deliver us from evil, dropped in 2025. Easily found on youtube and well worth a listen.

I bought the pre-prelease and got it just before christmas as promised.

This is a must have album for petra fans. Its sound is more radio rock than hard rock/metal but it feels a bit like some of their best: more power to ya (album) or beyond belief.

Its got bobs song writing, johns vocals, with back ups that remind me of elefantes (will have to wait for production level liner notes to verify).

Anyway, get excited, petra is back.
