as a Petra fan its good to see Bob Heartmans music getting sung by other people in other areas of music. This proves that Not only Petra the group but Bob Heartman as a Christian and song writer are solid and God will bless their work. Good Job Tim McGraw on a beutiful song. Well done, loved it.
This song made me a Tim McGraw fan! I was in tears when I heard it. Thank you Tim for doing a good job with this song. I am a long time Petra fan, and you knocked it out of the park.
Thanks for posting this song... hearing Tim as this benegit is the first time I heard it and have looked for it for a long time and could not find a post. It moved me to tears during the whole Katrina disaster and I wanted to learn it really bad and then learned it was actually a Petra song... so now I am a Petra fan too. See our version of More Power to Ya in vid response.
@Bjluvs Actually, Greg Volz first sang lead on 2 songs on Petra's 2nd album in 1977 as a guest, then became a member in 1979. It was lead guitarist and founder Bob Hartman who wrote this song, but Greg Volz sang lead on it.
I miss when I was a young christian in a Pentecostal church youth group who had Petra come to our church, when I could believe in a loving god. I miss when I was too innocent to know that my race was in danger and that I was hated by so many others. If I could wake up in 82/83, be 14/15 again, like the last 25 years was a bad dream and I still had a loving church family to belong to. I'd be one happy little Aryan. But now I know my Country and my Race is under attack and the past is gone. 14/88
Kudos to Tim for singing this song...I am a hughe Petra Fan and am glad he covered this song...The word of God will sing out or the rocks will cry out his praise...
I am a huge Tim fan and I am not surprised at how good he is with this song. he always does his best when doing a cover. and he is a Baptist Christian. he does a great job with this song.this is the first time I heard this. I have never heard of this song or Petra
I hope this song can get put on youtube under the Name Tim McGraw instead of "TIN". This missplelling is leaving people out. I have been looking for this and so happy to find it. Never saw another major artist (Secular)Perform a Petra song. Tim could have chosen any song to open the Katrina disaster Benifit concertt with and he chose this petra song. How appropriate to encourage others in there tradegy.
Wow UPF, thank you so much! Im sure Tim McGraw fans will be able to hear a new song and be blessed. I think that the Katrina relief concert was put on by The Red Cross and aired on national TV. It would be great to be able to see video footage of him. Does anyone know a way to get the video of this song that opened the Katrina relief Concert? If so, lets see it :)
I grew up with Petra also and LOVED them! I like their version better, not a huge Tim fan, but it is awesome he did a christian song at a concert.....now if he were to change to ALL christain music, might listen to him then....?????
Tim has a Christian song on his new album "southern voice" you might want to listen to. it is called "I'm only Jesus". He just felt it was time to do this. he and his wife were both raised in church.
I've never been a huge fan of Tim McGraw and grew up with Petra,but now I have more of a appreciation for him. Awesome to hear him do a christian song of one of the oldest and best christian bands of all-time. Thanks to Tim McGraw and his band.
just thought I would mention that he and his wife are southern baptist christians and try to live by His word everyday. they are both very devoted to their Christian beliefs and are raising there three girls to be that way. on many of Tim' salbums he has favored some Christian type music. he has one song called "drugs or Jesus" very good song.
I could take or leave Tim McGraw's music, personally. But this cover just really touched me. Well done, Tim, and thanks for paying homage to Petra like this.
I love the part where it says "So be strong in the Lord in the power of His might. Put upon His armor and fight the good fight. In all of our weakness, He becomes so strong. He gives us the power and the strength to carry on." That part is so true...we need to stand up for Him and what we believe in. Even though I have never heard of Petra, Tim did such a good job on this! (:
Thanks for posting this... I heard Tim play this for the live Hurricane Katrina benefit show and thought it was his... I searched far and wide for the lyrics and finally found out it is a Petra original. A real tricky song to play on guitar so I came up with my own version that I am able to sing and play with.... feel free to check it and let me know your thoughts.
It was so cool to see Tim pick a Petra Song to open the Katrina benifit concert. This will probably be as close as the one he sang that night and im greatfull to hear it again.
TIM DOSES A GOOD JOB! I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH GREG X.HES GOT A NEW RECORD COMING OUT SOOn..WE JUST DID A CONCERT TOGETHER IN JUNE..AND NO ONE CAN SING IT LIKE HIM! BUT HE THOUGHT IT WAS COOL WHEN I TOLD HIM TIM WAS SINGING HIS SONG
Tim performs this song much better here than when I heard him sing it on TV, during which his voice cracked at the more difficult parts of the song. Pretty difficult for his range. You almost need a voice like Greg Volz' to sing it, but Tim does a passable job here.
Way to go Tim, a much deserved cover simply showing that music is music not christian or secular or bound by any other stereotype.

A secular country artist performing a Petra song - now that's great. And it wasn't Lucas McGraw (from Petra's 1st album).

This song was written by Greg Volz. Who was the original lead singer of Petra and one of the original group that formed the bad.
it is a very anointed song and for Mr Mc Graw to choose to sing this was in Gods hands.
