PETRA - Whole World

[moody609]

4 people are uptight fundamentalists who didn't like the smoking in the video.

[Happydey]

Me volví "adicta" a Petra gracias a un amigo que me prestó un casete, un casete!!!!!!! Mi amigo murió hace 17 años y no puedo evitar llorar cada vez que escucho a Petra.. Amo su música.

[MarcJonStMichael]

most "Christian Rock" bands of this time period sucked, honestly. Poor production quality and very lame song writing almost destroyed the genre. With the exception of Stryper, Petra was the BEST sounding, best recorded Christian rock band in the 80s. Had their focus been more to reach secular audiences, I truly believe Petra could have done with AOR (Journey, Foreigner, etc) what Stryper did and does with the hard rock audience (Poison, Whitesnake, etc)

[JuhGarotaCrista]

Eu amo Petra!

[cataloger1kimberlya]

i love Petra!

[acompletedingas]

Please don't ever take down this video

[aquilas777]

wow I did not even know they did a video clip of this song, (my drama team in brazil used to do a coreograth of this tune, Aquilas777.

[jrichard1977]

Truly one of the best Petra songs. Period.

[shep78Gmail]

Lyrics.... it's all about the lyrics... BEYOND Poetry, straight through Angels from God :)

[ehrldawg]

i dont remember this video. still a very cool one!!

HES' GOT THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HAND!!

[miguelanders]

This was the first christian rock video clip I saw !!

[FuzzyThoughts]

YEAHHH!!!! OMG! PETRA!!! The good old days!!! :D

[Luisgranados87]

Petra

[Dearlovels]

Such a gift "PETRA" from God. Awesome, your doin really great. I LOVE YOUR PASSION FOR GOD OUR LORD JESUS through music

[JLynnAK]

Thought of this song what with the unrest in the Middle East and the devastation in Japan. It is still all in God's hands and all part of His plan.

[hummbug1]

I was 1 years old ah the days...

[TzeffNL]

By the way, this song is really for the endtimes! Look at what's happening in the Middle-East! These nations are gonna unite together to attack their common enemy: Israel! Unknowingly, they're walking into God's trap! And despite what many people say about the year 2012, God has the Whole World in His hands!

[ThePrayerwarrior777]

@TzeffNL AMEN BROTHER, COME LORD JESUS!!!!

[Napsyout]

Ha ha that was John Schlitts kids at the end of the video.

[TzeffNL]

@Napsyout Hey, thanks for the info!!!

[musicluvr1974]

I love this song! Where did you find the video?

[Dil244]

no doubt that God blessed Bob.

[liar86]

Ha ha! That guy in the white suit reminds me of Christopher Hitchens. Don't lose those kids Hitch!

[Dougs801]

no matter what petra song is played, written, or sung i get tears in my eyes. I pray they know the respect they have earned and the lives they saved.

[mafdaddy75]

I've been a fan for 18 years and counting. Didn't realize their greatness until they announced their farewell tour. Thank you Bob, Greg, John S., John L., Mark, Ronnie and Louie.

[zauriel1]

one of the 'old school' christian bands (and, the best of the bunch, in my opinion!) 33+yrs of positive rock glorifying everyone's Father, GOD!!!! This song is a reminder of GOD's eternal love and grace

[hombremaya]

I learned English translating Petras' songs. I listened this song many times before going to school. It has been almost 15 years of this and it brings to me sweet

memories.

[ronbolio]

I agree totally that noone writes a song like Petra!!!!! I've been a fan for over 20 yrs.

[tatu5151]

What a great band i miss this guys

[OJaderson]

10,viva o Petra,dá para legendar em português?

[101arrest]

I was at their very last concert, and I still love them I wore out there tapes but thanks to amazon I have been able to get them on cd. and you are wright their is no one like them. I have to kids now and i have shown them the Petra vieos and they love it and they are only 8 and 10. Petra still reaching the youth there there videos.

[Rafaeldamian]

I'm just glad I got to see them at their last concert .. it was quite an evening. I only wish they'd done this song then

[MegaHorses2]

I loved seeing Petra in concert!

[secondwing7]

Petra is inspired of God's word and spirit. Since 1989 I've been listening to PETRA. Now I'm 47 years...Their music and words always feed my heart and soul and help me to seek Jesus alltimes, everywhere und get sure HE is with me, also in times, when we don't "feel" HIM. As PETRA sings, salvation is not a feeling.. I'n so glad to find so much videos and songs of them. 2 years ago, there was only a few...

[bluemar00n]

i'M RIGHT WITH YOU ON THAT ! GOD BLESS

[earworm]

I've never found a band that sounds like petra. I was 13 when I first got into them Im 33 years old now and have listened to so many different bands but nobody writes music for a lyrical melody better than bob.

[bluemar00n]

Your Right NO DOUBT

[tatu5151]

thats so true bob is the men

[dwayne8032]

@earworm He's sure a gem of a saint and may the Lord raise up more lyrically blessed saints to help feed our next generations to Love the Lord in music that can not only be heard but understood...lyrics really mean alot when it comes to lifting up the King of Kings...

[mbbreit]

@earworm You took the words right out of my mouth, you know! The only other band that energizes me as much as Petra is Stryper. There are no other bands around that call themselves Christians AND actually sing about CHRIST!!! Maybe all these modern bands should be Xtians - just like XMAS when they took CHRIST out of Christmas! Put on all his armor and fight the good fight, brothers!

[TzeffNL]

@earworm Neither there's a band that has the same "sound" like Petra. I Like Bob's guitar solos very much! :-)

[lazydonovan]

@earworm

Outside of the Christian music world, I would personally say that Def Leppard sounds a lot like them (or vice versa). At least, I would say that the "Beyond Belief" is a lot like Leppard stuff.

[Jorm83]

@earworm I know a few; check out The Scorpions, Lizzy Borden, Barren Cross, Axxis, and Europe's first five albums.

[vanmoody]

@earworm I agree with you, and also love Petra because they stayed true to a strong biblical message.

[sabastianthelion]

such a good song. great intro.

[MrRoute7]

john has a good voice . petra really gets the message out in their songs

[VImessenjah]

AWSOME!!!!!!! Petra never gets old, great music and message.

[SoliDeoGloria11]

ANOTHER Petra song I had never heard! And I love it!

[chrismorals]

Forever PETRA!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmizael]

this messages have to be spread, He still got the whole world in his hand no matter what tomorrow will come

[9DodgeFan]

This is one of my favorites! I never knew it had an actual video! Thanx 4 posting!

[JayMichell]

sweet iv'e never seen this clip before :D

[petrafan8]

Love you,love you guys from Petra!!!

GBY

[ivanashimich]

gREAT BAND

[dutchmcgee101]

Bob Hartman, one of the best guitarists that God ever let walk this earth.

[Fingerpats]

I Agree

[eflint1]

I predict WMG will have this video deleted by the end of this week.

[TerryRay02]

Are you a prophet or something!? Oh wait, WMG does that stuff all the time. Yeah, they'll delete this video as soon as they see it. Greedy scrooges!!

[dutchmcgee101]

Got that right. Bob Hartman should get all the rights to Petra's songs and videos back. I mean it was his band.

[ezktime7]

this is a rare video gem!

[Fingerpats]

Ah Petra at its best...don't you feel like dancing on this!!!haha I miss those guys...but thanks for the great years and for rocking my world with the great Lord...God bless you bros and sis. Take care

[bloody1988]

still true ! :D

[jcfuego]

very good!

[emsal12]

Magnific song!

[geto0008]

I love this song.

[Jorm83]

Also, the guitarist, with the way he's dressed and kind of how he looks, reminds me a bit of Roger Glover from Deep Purple and Rainbow, except Roger's a bassman. ;)

[Jorm83]

This band's early stuff with Jon Schlitt reminds me so much of Europe's early efforts with their first five albums. I love it!

[banauch]

I loved this song back in the mid-80's ... also huge Petra fan. While the fears may be labeled differently today,God does have the whole world in His hands. This song is such a great reminder.

[Stephaloney]

i love this song,

the bass is real nice.

haha, i love what bob is wearing.

[underoathkid95]

AWesome vid!! Petra is One of the Greatest Bands in the History of music!

[warlikesoft]

es la cancion de mi vida, todo esta en sus manos y nadie lo dice mejor que Petra

[hombremaya]

La primera canción que escuché de Petra fue la de amigos en la versión español y me fascinó sobremanera que lo hice parte de mi diario vivir por mucho tiempo y creo que ha sido una de las bandas que me ayudó a emprender la jornada en el cristrianismo.

[Rythmboy]

thanks

[jlarson88]

He's STILL got the whole world in His hands - tonight!

The message of this song never goes out of style, and is a great reminder that God is STILL in control.

[GhostHostAnth]

Interesting statement - but then why are we lately on the verge of war?

[shydelight]

It's not God who make war, it's men. God gave us free will to choose between good and evil.

[rocky4432901]

You are so Right. God (Father, Son, Holy spirit) are always in Control/In His Hands.

[bdouvill]

Musically, awesome. But as a video, you must admit, it leaves much to be desired. That being said, as a Torontonian, I am pleased by the video's setting.

John is indeed an awesome singer on this album. The vocals are tight, the musicianship in general is awesome. I loved this album when it came out in '86. And even if I no longer subscribe to the theology, I do appreciate the music.

[SandroSatler]

Essa e das antigas!!!Muito boa..

lembro de qdo comecei a ouvir essa banda nos anos 80 e me apaixonei...

Valeu Petra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mattymattb]

i was a petra fan as a young boy in the early 80's. they were the first concert I went to at 8 years old (more power to ya tour). This is one of their best songs! I am so happy to have found the video- thanks for uploading this!

[pnyk33]

i still am thy are still that good

[payaso789]

this is a great song and i think is better than others secular bands i thank God for Petra because they have impacted and encoureged my life for many years,i was 6 years old when this album came out.

[JUSCUZISRETRO]

Ahhh T dot no wonder I like these guys :)

[rivotrich7]

Great Song! I remember when Back to the Street came out in '86. A big change in sound for Petra.

[jonke38]

any1 know if this song is included in "The Ultimate Collection"?

[TerryRay02]

No, but THANKFUL HEART is.

[80Aalbu]

Wonderfull song! The world need sons like that! Willing to lay down theyre life for the Kingdom of the Lord!

[Xadoke]

I agree, John has a truly awesome voice. When compared with secular rock bands, they don't come close. I do like to listen to songs with Greg singing sometimes, they are nice for a change. I also listen to lots of other music, but despite checking out many many other bands Petra remains at the top.

[Edbrooks1977]

If I am not mistaken, this was the first album John sang on after Greg left. I was 8 yrs old in 86! Great song and thanks for posting!

[dollye]

Do you know why Greg left, and where he left? I have a solo-album named Exodus that he gave out, but after that I haven't heard of him.

[Edbrooks1977]

Hi Dollye, yes I do know and it's really no big secret, after spending so much time on the road with the band touring, he left to spend more time with his family, and of course to pursue a solo career. This was 1985. John Schlitt, the voice you're now hearing, came in 1986 and would stay for the duration, until 2006. "And only He knows where the sparrow lands...."

Greg joined up again in 2005 for the farewell tour, singing Grave Robber, among others.

[jonke38]

John got the best voice I've ever heard! if it wasnt for him I dont think I would start to listen to Petra around christmas.(Im not saying Greg dont got a good voice)

[debbysue2002]

Awesome!

[TVShowLover]

wooooooooooo awesome song
