@bagelboi66 "Why should the devil have all the good music!" Yes, Larry was the first Jesus rocker. God Bless Larry Norman (rest in peace, Larry) and Petra, Randy Stonehill, and the other early Christian artists out there who blazed new trails.
@bagelboi66 yeah, but Petra was the one that took it to the next level... touring the State, having sold-outs everywhere and getting to a lot of confused young people...
@cristyraul Not just Petra, but REZ band, Chuck Girard & Love Song, Malcolm & Alwyn, Randy Stonehill, Ken Medema, 2nd Chapter of Acts, Barry McGuire, gosh there were so many. It's depressing how few pioneers are still performing, or indeed still on Earth. I guess I'll always have an especially soft spot for Larry Norman though. I never get sick of his groundbreaking "Six O'Clock News" hey I still listen to it!
@bagelboi66 they were awesome as well... but Petra was the one standing out... I mean, ask kids nowadays if they heard of any of those... I'm telling you that most of them would have heard of only Petra and maybe, just maybe of Rez band... I mean christian young people, of course...
I am so blessed to have grown up with their music fas the soundtrack to my childhood! I don't remember a week going by without blaring 'Back To The Street' or 'This Means War' while doing my chores and homework. They are truely blessed gift from God. Thank you so much for sharing this!
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......
Most people have no clue that christianity is a Lie, and a Hoax on the Gentile People. Most people just believe it without ever questioning the facts involved. Most have never read the bible. If they did, then they would see all the BS covered in it. I challenge you today to not be a sheep afraid of change, and scared of the Truth. I challenge you to take an honest look at this website.
I saw Petra (original line up) play yesterday at Eastefest here in Qld, Australia. They where awesome. At first I didn't know how the young people were going to take to the older music style but after a few tracks the kids really got into it. Was really good to see young people who where there more out of curiosity appreciate Petra's sound. They really promoted the Gospel too when speaking with the crowd. Much more than some of the other bands on the day. Double thumbs up to Petra!!!
God used Petra in my life so that I could become a Christian. The first Christian song I ever heard was "It Is Finished". That song remains one of my absolute Petra faves. I saw Petra on their retirement tour and met Bob and John. They were so kind and gracious, and they got a kick out of my five y/o daughter striking a "rock girl" pose. My kids' favorite song is "Jekyll & Hyde". I still rock out and know all the lyrics. Much love in Christ <3
Most of people who aren`t christian think that christian music are lame, but it isn`t. Neither Petra, Whiteheart and De Garmo and Key made bad, boring music.
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.
I was fortunate enough to see these guys on the 1st night of the "Beat the System" tour. Some technical problems but otherwise a great show! Very talented with a great message.
This guy must be an old line baptist or somthin? I got saved because of christian rock!! So God Bless petra and all the bands out there delivering the messege!!
Praise God for Christians that listen to God's voice and not some negative people that think you have to be boreing to be a christian!! Serving God is exciting and awesome and I still love my christian rock and praise and worship!!!
Petra, Is my all time # 1 Favorite band, Always will be. The lord showed me they will NOT retire, But will re-fire. Thank you Jesus! Rest if you must Petra but no retire!
Thank you so much to dabbuhl for this awsome flash of songs!
This was the greatest Christian Rock band that I ever knew. I grew up listening and going to concerts with my Dad! I will never forget them. Wish they didn't retire yet.
The absolute best, bar none! Saved millions of souls for Jesus with great music/message for 33 years, Heard they are back together with the original lineup for a world tour starting in October!!!!! AWESOME!! Greg will sing...
This is not a joke. posted at their Facebook Page, the webpage given, and verified by jesusfreakhideout, CMSpin, and dpulse records (whoever they are...)
The lord said "make a joyfull noise" not " make a classical" or "rock" as long as the heart is in the right place god doesn't care.... and his opinion is the only one who's DOES matter.
my dad was in the FIRST christian rock band even before them and i think he loves the lord verry much.
It's sad that I can't find those albums in Montréal today. I got all those in k7 when I was 20 years old. I'm now 39, and I try to find them. If u got an advise please email me
There will never be a Christian Rock band like PETRA again...they will always be my favorite...Thanks to Petra for 33 awesome years of rocking for G-O-D!
a while ago i read something like that several evangelists including David Wilkerson opposed christian rockbands like petra. does anyone know why? i thought that petra made music inspired by God and to the glory of Jesus Christ. i'm really confused and hope that someone can help me=) God bless!
Petra is my favorite all time Christian rock band and they were the best band of their time. However they were not the founder of Christian rock. Larry Norman was around long before they started.
Awesome wonderful video! My all-time favorite band, and all-time favorite Christian rock band; although I would say Larry Norman is/was "undoubtedbly" the founder of Christian Rock.
@sumitvids sorry for replying this way, but dont forget in the credits that they also got 2 Gold albums and John has 3 Gold records. Theres allot more than what was listed in the video for achievements.
I don't see Petra as destructive. If you do, you haven't listened to the music or read the lyrics. I could name all the songs but if you don't get it, you won't get it.
@dabbuhl Dude have you ever really listened? Or are you just judging by the cover here?? Really?? Destructive?? I don't think so I got saved because of christian rock!!
Are you going to say I am not saved?? Next time open your ears and listen before you judge??
I Agree with you, Some people go a bit to far and think any other style of music is evil, its the lyrics that make a song evil, I for one love Christian rock, its got power and has passion, I say the Praise the Lord in any music style,! Lets show the Devil we can use the music he wants to be evil, to Praise Jesus!!
some people need to Lighten up,
I still listen to secular music too, Its entertainment, and I dont let it affect me.
Jesus knows I love music. but christian is my Fave!
@Truthorfable The destructive music of christian rock?Perhaps you can give a bible verse for your claim! As a christian I only take direction from His word!
@Truthorfable i cannot believe that with all the dying souls in this world,and our call to be a light to them,that you are on a "witch hunt"against christian rock.Show a bible verse if you can.
Russ Ballard wrote it for Argent, then Petra received the right to record it (Petra changed the lyrics somewhat) Then Kiss recorded it for the Bill and Ted movie. The Kiss version is more like the Argent. You can look up Argent "God gave rock and roll to you" on youtube and find the video.
Thanks for this! Petra is my all-time favorite band. My favorite concert was in 1991 in Greenville, SC. Anyone else hear of the Great Paper Airplane War before that concert! Awesome!
I have always loved petra. But the older stuff really cooks my chicken! 1977s GGRRTY is my favorite still! I can't believe Kiss stole that song so outright. Also I think the real founder of Christian Rock (other that the allmighty) was Larry Norman. 1969s Upon This Rock. But I love it all.
god is spreading through america like a wildfire, however, we need to keep jesus in everything we do. for all christians , do not just be a sunday christian. carry god "in your pocket" everywhwhare u go. god bless you all.
By the way, saw Petra's final tour in Tampa in 2006....AWESOME!
But I also beg to differ, in my opinion, the best of all time? Newsboys, oh and yes, of course Ken Tamplin. All though I do have tons of Petra albums! LOL!
This band was awesome to see in concert and a blessing once again to hear again. I recently purchased 4 of their CDs and I am so thankful for their songs. Praise God for their ministry!
Thanks God I saw them in concert in Tacoma/Washington in 1994 and in Rio de Janeiro in 1995. I love their music and ministry. Good luck guys and God bless you all.
Petra's lyrics to their version of "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" are different than the original version. I have to admit, I prefer Petra's version.
I completely agree with you. I'd never heard of this band until I watched this video and I am shocked and appalled.
'God gave rock n roll to you'?? can nobody see these people were being used by the illuminati? the pyramid imagery can even be seen on some of their album covers.
And they covered a KISS song? KISS are one of the most demonic rock groups out there? I can't believe how many people are being decieved! Check out John Todd an an ex illuminatist...
God Gave Rock and Roll to You was originally performed by the band Argent in 1973. Petra added overtly Christian lyrics in 1977 on their album Come and Join Us. They redid it in 1984 on the album Beat the System then recorded live in 1985 on Captured in Time and Space album. Kiss did the song in 1991. That said, I thank God for bands like Petra, DeGarmo and Key and others; imperfect men, called by God to bring the Gospel to imperfect teens whom he loves and will meet where they are.
To quote Petra's backmasked intro to their song "Judas Kiss" : "What'ca looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord". Amen Petra, and God bless you all.
You need to read a verse in the Bible that says "Let he who is among you without sin be the first to condemn" It's not your place. They changed the words of that song, if you even cared to check it out, and did you not hear any of the other lyrics they sang? Half the lyrics of their songs come straight out of the Bible. Oh and while you're at it, check out the verse that says "Sing unto the Lord a NEW SONG" You know there was one point in time that four part hyms were of the devil.
This band is the best band ever. There's not a lot of christian rock bands that can last as many years as they did. It really shows their faith on Christ was real.
I wouldn't say that Petra started Christian rock, but they were certainly there in the beginning. They were unique in that they had two lead guitar players, a little like the Allman brothers. If you had played more of the 1974 stuff people would have heard that sound. That is the sound that I will always think of when I think of Petra. I gave my Petra album away to a guy in hopes of evangelizing him, but kind of wish I hadn't... I'll have to check Ebay...
i grew up listening to petra and dctalk. i have since progressed to metal, but these guys have been an integral part of my growth, and i still love them.
Fue la primer banda de musica cristiana que escuche en 1992, tenia meses de haber aceptado al Señor como mi Salvador. Dios los usó en mi vida. God used this band in my first months as a christian.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
U think miracles prove God exists? Well all miracles have one thing in common: unlike bible miracles, today's miracles are never irrefutable miracles, like a divided Red Sea, multiplied loaves, etc. Isn't it strange that today's miracles all happen to be suspiciously similar to other non-miracle occurrences, such as hallucinations or schizophrenia? Why no irrefutable miracles? Why has every law discovered by science gone hand in hand with miracles that no longer occur?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
satans biggest deception is christian rock and i love it cuz more of these fols are going to hell..what a joke and what a slap in Gods face....demons of the world
who are you, doomedamerica, to condemn anyone to hell? I find it hard to believe that any music devoted to the praise of God is going to get anyone sent to hell. What's evil? Guitars? Drums? Keyboards? I just don't get those who claim rock and roll is evil. What's so evil about it?
hahahhaa, dude this is the most stupid comment i ever seen, music can be used in several ways, it depends in the way the music is used, if i want to say something for God with music, is for him and i dont care if is rock or something else, is just my way to bless the name of Jesus
33 anos fantasticos. É triste imaginar que Petra chegou ao fim. Mesmo assim, as músicas de Petra permanecerá para sempre em nossos corações. Obrigado Petra. Deus abençoe vocês!
33 fantastic years. It is sad to imagine Petra coming to an end. Still, Petra's song will remain in our hearts forever! Thank you Petra. God bless you all!
I used to be lead singer in a band at my church in the early 1990s, petra was a big influence in our music. Petras music is an excellent way to bring gods word to younger generations. All their lyrics had a strong biblical origin. Such a fantastic way to spread gods word.
...Joshua heard the noise of the people [and] he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. And he said, It is... but the noise of them that sing do I hear...
And Moses said unto Aaron, What did this people unto thee, that thou hast brought so great a sin upon them? And Aaron said, ...thou knowest the people, that they are set on mischief.
you will have to be juge on what you said but his grace be blessed.his name is above all names kees shall bown down and every tougue confess that his Lord of all.
I have the 89 CD heard it a zillion times!U the 97 CD's & 2001...I love the Coloring Song!More Power to Ya,Not of This World, No Weapon Formed Against Me Will Prosper, I Love the LORD! Beyond Belief,When Will the World See that We Need Jesus?
can someone name all the songs playing in this video?? thanks my dad loves petra and i use to listen to them all the time but dont remember some of the songs
Sorry I can't name ALL of 'em, but here's the ones I know:
Walkin In the Light, God Gave Rock & Roll to you, ?? (on Washes Whiter Than), The Coloring Song, More Power To Ya, Not of This World, Beat the System, ?? (on Captured in Time & Space), Shakin the House, This Means War, All Fired Up, I Love the Lord, Beyond Belief, Dance, Just Reach Out, No Doubt, We Need Jesus, ?? (on God Fixation), ?? (on Double Take), We Want to See Jesus Lifted High, ?? (on Jekyll & Hyde), ?? (Petra Farewell)
I think it would be awsome of a group of recent christian artists would do a tribute to Petra and kinda jazz up some of their songs. Petra's song writting was just awsome and they just don't turn out such quality nowadays!
Petra has been around since long before I was born, and my Dad loves them! I grew up listening to them! So many of these songs I knew and loved! Makes me want to find my dads old cds!
Man I'm 21 I have all the Petra albums I got My First petra album when I was 15 and the First song of Petra's I Heard was Was "Destiny" and within 2 months of hearing that song I was going to Church Full time and over the years have collected all there Albums and put them On My iPod which I keep connected to my car stereo and thats all that Plays is Petra where ever I go YOU ROCK MY WORLD PETRA!!!!!
Thank you Petra. You have been a great inspiration to my life. Since my first years as a christian, Petra has been a motor to me, an example of courage and how we can live a holy life "in this stranger's pilgrimage". The visit you guys gave us in Colombia transformed many lives.
Estos bacanes de la fe son unos reduros. Hasta Josh McDowell los apoya. Ejemplos como este son dignos de imitar, asi a los demas no les guste. Gracias a Petra y al man que hizo este video (Dabbuhl) .
Petra is truly a Spirit fueled group and this dedication is truly a wonderful way of saying thank you... for listening to the spirit I know many who have been lead to Jesus because of their obedience to Gods spirit,and thank you.
Founders of Christian rock? Hardly. What about Larry Norman? He came before any of them.

@dabbuhl Dude have you ever really listened? Or are you just judging by the cover here?? Really?? Destructive?? I don't think so I got saved because of christian rock!!
Are you going to say I am not saved?? Next time open your ears and listen before you judge??

You may be mistaken about this being Dabbuhl. He's the one that posted the video and defends Petra as not being destructive.
I think you meant to reply to "Truthorfable."

I Agree with you, Some people go a bit to far and think any other style of music is evil, its the lyrics that make a song evil, I for one love Christian rock, its got power and has passion, I say the Praise the Lord in any music style,! Lets show the Devil we can use the music he wants to be evil, to Praise Jesus!!
some people need to Lighten up,
I still listen to secular music too, Its entertainment, and I dont let it affect me.
Jesus knows I love music. but christian is my Fave!

@Truthorfable The destructive music of christian rock?Perhaps you can give a bible verse for your claim! As a christian I only take direction from His word!

Russ Ballard wrote it for Argent, then Petra received the right to record it (Petra changed the lyrics somewhat) Then Kiss recorded it for the Bill and Ted movie. The Kiss version is more like the Argent. You can look up Argent "God gave rock and roll to you" on youtube and find the video.

I have always loved petra. But the older stuff really cooks my chicken! 1977s GGRRTY is my favorite still! I can't believe Kiss stole that song so outright. Also I think the real founder of Christian Rock (other that the allmighty) was Larry Norman. 1969s Upon This Rock. But I love it all.

I completely agree with you. I'd never heard of this band until I watched this video and I am shocked and appalled.
'God gave rock n roll to you'?? can nobody see these people were being used by the illuminati? the pyramid imagery can even be seen on some of their album covers.
And they covered a KISS song? KISS are one of the most demonic rock groups out there? I can't believe how many people are being decieved! Check out John Todd an an ex illuminatist...

God Gave Rock and Roll to You was originally performed by the band Argent in 1973. Petra added overtly Christian lyrics in 1977 on their album Come and Join Us. They redid it in 1984 on the album Beat the System then recorded live in 1985 on Captured in Time and Space album. Kiss did the song in 1991. That said, I thank God for bands like Petra, DeGarmo and Key and others; imperfect men, called by God to bring the Gospel to imperfect teens whom he loves and will meet where they are.

To quote Petra's backmasked intro to their song "Judas Kiss" : "What'ca looking for the devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord". Amen Petra, and God bless you all.

You need to read a verse in the Bible that says "Let he who is among you without sin be the first to condemn" It's not your place. They changed the words of that song, if you even cared to check it out, and did you not hear any of the other lyrics they sang? Half the lyrics of their songs come straight out of the Bible. Oh and while you're at it, check out the verse that says "Sing unto the Lord a NEW SONG" You know there was one point in time that four part hyms were of the devil.

I wouldn't say that Petra started Christian rock, but they were certainly there in the beginning. They were unique in that they had two lead guitar players, a little like the Allman brothers. If you had played more of the 1974 stuff people would have heard that sound. That is the sound that I will always think of when I think of Petra. I gave my Petra album away to a guy in hopes of evangelizing him, but kind of wish I hadn't... I'll have to check Ebay...

U think miracles prove God exists? Well all miracles have one thing in common: unlike bible miracles, today's miracles are never irrefutable miracles, like a divided Red Sea, multiplied loaves, etc. Isn't it strange that today's miracles all happen to be suspiciously similar to other non-miracle occurrences, such as hallucinations or schizophrenia? Why no irrefutable miracles? Why has every law discovered by science gone hand in hand with miracles that no longer occur?

I used to be lead singer in a band at my church in the early 1990s, petra was a big influence in our music. Petras music is an excellent way to bring gods word to younger generations. All their lyrics had a strong biblical origin. Such a fantastic way to spread gods word.
