Petra Lyrics


If there's one band whose name conjures up images of pure,
passionate, power-packed rock and roll, it's Petra. They've
whisked listeners away on a wild ride since the heartbeat
of the band began years ago. And more than 7 million
records sold, four Grammy Awards, ten Dove Awards and an
induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame certainly
solidifies the fact that Petra was no one-trick pony. And
that momentum never stopped as the group helped define the
rock genre for a whole generation of music lovers, perhaps
more so than any More...

Reviews about Petra songs

Rediscovering Petra | Reviewer: Boyet Codas
    ------ About the song Prayer performed by Petra

A prayer of us all. Very biblical. a very anointed song. I think I should rediscover Petra and introduce their songs to my children. Their songs are really based in scriptures and not just based on emotions as some of the "christian" songs nowadays are.


Life Changing | Reviewer: Kelly Matthews
    ------ About the song Not By Sight performed by Petra

This was the first Christian rock song I ever heard. It changed my life. Not long after I started listening to Petra and other groups in this genre, I gave my life to Christ and have lived for Him ever since. Thank you Petra for being a willing vessel. God used your ministry to save my life.


Blinded Eyes | Reviewer: Valerie Needham
    ------ About the song Blinded Eyes performed by Petra

I totally love this song!! This song has helped me in my life when I in conflict with another person. It has helped me see where I was blind to where the other party was coming from.

Thank you Petra for writing awesome songs!!


The Most Realist Song of Truth I Ever Heard! | Reviewer: Bruce A. Geddings
    ------ About the song Angel of Light performed by Petra

This is one of the most realistic songs of the truth about Satan that I think I have ever heard by anyone. I give this song a perfect 10 on any scale and feel sorry for those who think differently about the real Angel of Light!


God Gave Rock n Roll | Reviewer: Arby
    ------ About the song God Gave Rock & Roll to You performed by Petra

Actually, Petra did three different versions of the song over the years so there are short and long versions. They got permission to alter the lyrics to speak more from a Christian perspective.

And by the way, KISS never did stand for Knights In Satan's Service. A friend of mine was the first road manager for Kiss. He's now a Christian performer and was there from day one and there when they named the band. It simply meant Kiss, as in a Kiss. Sorry, the other makes a better story but is not true.


Not a Petra original | Reviewer: JM
    ------ About the song God Gave Rock & Roll to You performed by Petra

This is not the original version. The original version was written and recored by the band Argent. The Argent song is from 1973. Petra covered the Argent song by changing its lyrics, as did Kiss. The Kiss version is slightly closer to the original, using part of the second verse. But really, the only lyrics that are used in either cover is the chorus. The music is similar for both covers, with Kiss being closer to the 1973 original. The Petra song is similar musically, but has more synthesizer and is slightly more upbeat.


God Gave Rock'n Roll | Reviewer: Clay Asher
    ------ About the song God Gave Rock & Roll to You performed by Petra

Well what can I say? Petra are the legends of christian rock. Their version, which is the original, is a little short and quick to change musical directions throughout the song. However, it is a great Rock ballad for any person. I find it to be a little ironic that KISS would put out their own version of the song in 1992. This being a christian ballad, its funny to hear it being played by a band that was once called Knights In Satans Service, although the KISS version is a little more Anthem-like.
