I love this song! I'm more for the softer stuff like Twila Paris or Casting Crowns, but I LOVE Petra's "The Invitation." I tried to find it here on YT but don't see it anywhere. The pictures are just wonderful, especially in a time of uncertainty and apprehension.
Love and respect to Petra, and to all those who Rock for the Rock!!! We are a new Christian Hard rock band, following in the footsteps of Such great Bands as Petra and Stryper, and we'd be honored if you brothers and sisters in Christ reading this will click here, open your heart and give our videos a listen....We are original, these are our songs, and our videos,...and not the usual youtube dribble! Quite the opposite actually! I promise!!! Please Click here...
My daughter Melissa was given 1 hr to live at Columbia Presbyterian Hosp Bx NY. Both her lungs were unable to stop bleeding. Drs said that not even a lung transplant would save her. I remember how in the supernatural God used Moses to part the red sea.So I prayed God in the supernatural power you gave Moses I ask you to close my daughter's lungs like you did to the red sea.. Drs call it miraculous. I say b/c I dared to believe I received.Drs encourage me to write a bk.
Hey there to all my brothers and sisters! IF ANYONE NEEDS PROOF of GOD, Just LOOK around!!! Even our Sci fi stories (which are fiction!) Can't create a thriving living planet, instantly....So, what more prove does one ned? This song, and NO DOUBT pretty much sums up how MUCH GOD LOVES ALL HIS CHILDREN, And how easy it is to love HIM in return!
I remember Petra from High school, it brought back some great memories for me. I had their song First love played at my 1st marriage in 1990. They did a good job with a 4him song.
My Aunt Mary has now been way more than one day in the courts and the house. Sometimes she would often just start singing this song at our Bible Study. So it is a happy/sad song for me. It really stinks that I cannot just pick up the phone and call her.
This is one of those songs covered by tons of artists...to answer your question, Kutless does do it, but so does Petra, Matt Redman, and Chris Tomlin...all great versions as well!
sureeee after war many heros shows up. This is a Petra custom made song, its easy to sing it the way u want after 20 years :D after someone worked hard on it
oh whatever =P haha. i like rock music better- i cant get into this sound, therefore Kutless makes it better on the ears for me personally. great song though no matter who covers it~
I saw Petra in 1976 or 77 in Wichita, Ks. at the Festival Of Joy. They were on the "Come Join Us" tour. Became an instant fan! Got to talk to Bab Hartman on the "Never Say Die" tour. Great guy! God bless these guys! ALL of them that have been involved thru the years. You will be missed!
They were my introduction into contempory Christian music and help me convert into becoming a believer by giving me music to praise God that relevant to todays times
Petra praise songs? Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord, Adonai, Praise ye the Lord,Petra has been around since the 70's they are the only band I know of that has lasted for such a long time. The song clean by petra is my all time favorite. Best song ever.
I've loved Petra since the '80's and since John Schlitt joined them, I've been blown away by their praise albums. This one is a very good addition (though that does not sound like Schlitt as lead in this one, though he is singing back-up at the end), but my favorite is Petra Praise 2.
Other than praise, I slightly prefer their original lead singer, Greg X. Volz, but both men have AMAZING voices.
That is my opinion as well! It is funny 'cause my brother and I were talking about how we think that John is better on praise albums and other then those we prefer Greg. You have good taste! :D
Thanks. It's hard to say that any praise song Petra has done is better than "Adonai" (sung by Volz), but, "Lovely Lord" from PP2 just edges it out, IMO. Both men are amazing.
Just out of curiosity, did Petra write secular music too? Cause I think I've heard of them before? This was really good too. Added it to my favorites.
Petra's lead singer, John Schlitt (before he became a believer), had been kicked out of his RIAA Gold-certified band Head East before Kutless's lead singer was even born. And before that, Petra had been formed in 1972. John joined Petra in 1985. That gives you a time frame for how long the two bands have been around the music world.
Better is one day in God's court than thousands elseware. It is even more awsome if we spend EVERYDAY in his courts and his HOLY CITY. God Bless who believe.
Rom 10:14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
You can listen to your rock and we will listen to the voice of God through talented musicians like Petra, DCTalk, Casting Crowns, Chris Tomlin and others
I hope you seek the word of God and when he answers you, you will listen
marilyn manson is a real sissy..... What are you gonna do when he bows down before the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, and pronounces him KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS.... for it is written that every knee shall bow, and every toung confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD.... (Philippians 2:10,11)
Satan himself will bow down before JESUS and profess him LORD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PRAISE GOD FOREVER
Interesting version!

No. Their leader (and main song writer), Bob Hartman, refused to compromise and go secular (even though they had opportunties.)

Right. And John wouldn't ever do that either, so the band would have to do it without both of them.
