30 Petra Songs Lyrics 1/7

All over me, all over me I won't let you're evil take control
I've got the blood of an innocent man
All over me They follow in your footsteps not knowing that you fell
Bumper to bumper on the freeway to hell
He never did anything to hurt anyone You lead them into wrong and you make it look so right
But He said something bout being God's own Son You lead them into darkness and make them think you lead
Some people believed Him, some people received Him them into light
Some people wouldn't stop till they saw Him die But I know where you're going, too bad you're not alone
If it wasn't for the real light I might have never known
Like an innocent lamb He was taken away
He never opened His mouth He had nothing to say Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
He just let them accuse Him, He just let them abuse Him But you only bring darkness to my soul
And the people wouldn't stop till they saw Him die Angel of light, You're telling me wrong is right
I won't let you're evil take control
They nailed His hands and His feet to the wood
At the foot of His cross all His enemies stood You got the clergy working overtime to widen the narrow
He said "Father forgive them" - He gave them all He could way
give them You've got politicians everywhere listening to what you say
Then He gave up His life and they watched Him die You've got false apostles teaching lies perverting the only
way
They laid His body in a rich man's tomb You've got principalities and powers waiting to obey
But He rose from the dead and He's coming back soon You've got philosophies and vain deceipts lying to deceive
You can choose to believe it, you can choose to receive it You've got hate, and greed, ungodly lusts in the deadly web
You can choose to believe that He did over you you weave
Somehow you've got so many thinking you're not even there
Ancient Of days One look is all it takes to get them blinded by your glare
(Revelations 19:11-21)
It's an age old score that's got to be settled Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
It's an age old debt that's got to be paid But you only bring darkness to my soul
When the King breaks through in all of His glory Angel of light, You're telling me wrong is right
To claim His throne and the world that He made I won't let you're evil take control
The nations wait with their armies gathered
With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs Awesome God
There will be no peace in Armegeddon valley When He rolls up His sleeves
Till the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes He ain't just putting on the ritz
When He arrives He will conquer them all (Our God is an awesome God)
Take back the ground given after the fall There's thunder in His footsteps
[Chorus] And lightning in His fists
All the King's horses and all the King's men (Our God is an awesome God)
Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been And the Lord wasn't joking when He kicked 'em out of Eden
All the King's horses and all the King's men It wasn't for no reason that He she'd His blood
Gonna put this world back together again His return is very close and so you better be believing that
Gonna put this world back together Our God is an awesome God
On a great white horse the King will come riding Our God is an awesome God
He's the One they call Faithful and True He reigns from heaven above
With His eyes of fire and blood dipped clothing With wisdom, power, and love
He had a name nobody else knew Our God is an awesome God
And by his side rode the armies of heaven Our God is an awesome God
Dressed in linen clean and white as the snow He reigns from heaven above
Riding down to earth with a vengeance so holy With wisdom, power, and love
For a one-day battle that will trample their foe Our God is an awesome God
And when the dust and the smoke disappears And when the sky was starless
The King will reign for a thousand years In the void of the night
When the lion lays down with the lamb (Our God is an awesome God)
There'll be peace in the land of Abraham He spoke into the darkness
They will beat their swords into plows And created the light
When every tongue declares and every knee bows (Our God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Angel Of Light Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
City lights are flashing, they call you to the streets I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that
Hearts are filled with passion in everyone you meet Our God is an awesome God
The Boulevard is waiting, it wants to get you high Our God is an awesome God
Neon signs are waiting to sell you anything you want to buy He reigns from heaven above
But I know your devices, it shouldn't seem so odd With wisdom, power, and love
You lied from the beginning, I see through your facade Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
(Chorus) He reigns from heaven above
Angel of light, I see you glow in the night With wisdom, power, and love
But you only bring darkness to my soul Our God is an awesome God
Angel of light, You're telling me wrong is right Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
30 Petra Songs Lyrics
He reigns from heaven above (He reigns from heaven above)
With wisdom, power, and love (With wisdom, power, and
love)
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God
Believer in deed
Based on 1 John 3:18
On his journey we begin at birth
This fleeting moment that we spend on earth
No second chance to live it all again
It must be now or never
To cherish each endeavor
What will they say that I have left behind
A faithful heritage for all to find
What will the see?
I want my legacy to be
(Chorus)
He was a believer in deed
He had a heart of a different breed
He made his mark and he lived by his creed
A true believer
A believer in deed
Am I living everything I say?
Am I pointing others to the way?
Will I leave this world a better place?
Will Jesus say he knew me
Is Jesus living through me?
Did I maintain my authenticity?
A man of honor and integrity?
Remembering me
I hope that they will truly see
At the end of my days I know I'm gonna say
I wouldn't live my life any other way
I'll look to my posterity to carry on for me
And pray that they will see
Deep Love
We need Your deep love to keep us strong
We need Your truth to show us right from wrong
We need Your sweet peace to keep us calm
We need Your comfort to show us we belong to You
Sometimes we're like a river
Always running from our Source
But when we wonder why we're almost runnin' dry
You restore us and return us to our course
Sometimes we get so desperate
Straying further from the fold
But when it seems that we're losing all our dreams
There's a Shepherd with a loving hand to hold
Forgive us Lord
For thinking we can make it without You in this world
We're so foolish
Sometimes we're like a fortress
With our walls built all around
But then Your love comes shining down from above
And we stand and watch our walls come tumbling down
Father Of Lights
You made the sun to light the day
You made the moon to light the night
2/7
You made me your son to light the world
But I still need more of Your light
Father of lights shine down on me
In all the dark places I'll never see
Only your light can take the night from me
There is no shadow under You
There is no place darkness has to hide
So search me and show me where You've never been
Help me let Your light inside
So let it shine, shine, shine
And it will chase away the darkness
Let it shine, shine, shine
And it will chase away the night
Just when I think there is no more darkness
Just when I think I've seen all Your light
You show me a corner I've kept from You
My fear and pride keeps it out of sight
For Annie
No one ever noticed Annie weeping
People all around, but she was all alone
Mama's got her meetings, Daddy's got his job
and no one's got the time so Annie's on her own
No one ever knew her desperation
People couldn't hear her cry out silently
Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills
The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills
(Chorus)
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family
Daddy tries to comfort Mama uselessly
They hoped she knew they loved her, but they really didn't
know
They just want to know why did their baby go
(2nd Chorus)
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
We would tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
If only we had known her situation,
We'd have tried to stop this useless tragedy
Annie's lost forever, never to be found
But there are lots of others like her all around
(3rd Chorus)
And it's not too late for Annie, she could be next to you
Don't miss the chance to tell her before her life is through
We gotta tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
Tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
You've got to tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Tell her He can free her and her burdens bear
Friends in the Family of God
30 Petra Songs Lyrics
friends, love one another
friends, sisters and brothers
friends, all in the family of God
friends are a gift from above
friends are devoted and true
then when the goin' gets tough
they're lovin', carin' and prayin' for you
I can be friends with you
I can be friends with you
There's no better friend that a man can know
I can be friends with you
And I feel so special
'Cause it's you I know
I don't know the governor
Even though I'm a resident
I don't rub shoulders with the dignities
Or shake hands with the President
And I know I can be with you
And I don't have to wait in line
You're the author and creator of all the world
And a personal friend of mine
When I have a problem
I can always come to You
Regardless of the situation
I know You know what to do
You put Your arm around and speak so tenderly
And I feel better just to know You care
And you took the time for me
Greater love has no man than this
That a man lay his life down for his friend
But You laid down for all the world to see
And You proved Your love for me
I'm no special person
I've got nothing to offer You
But You treat me like I'm the only one
With whom you have to do
You're closer than a brother
And You're with me every day
I love You 'cause You first loved me
And I'm glad that I can say
I love you, Lord
Chorus:
I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear
CHORUS
I love you, Lord...
I will call upon the Lord
I will call upon the Lord
who is worthy to be praised
so shall I be saved from my enemies
the Lord liveth and blessed be the Rock
and let the God of my salvation be exalted
3/7
Just Reach Out
Sometimes the night seems to go on for days
When it's hard to see the light through the darkness and haze
While the world around you makes you feel out of place
And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to face
(Chorus)
Just reach out and He'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out, and He'll reach in
Standing in a crowd, but still all alone
Crying out for answers that nobody knows
Everybody's busy looking out for themselves
Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else?
You say you've walked ten thousand steps away
But don't you know that it's only one step back?
Because the One who hears you when you pray
Is the One who's there beside you
And He'll never walk away
Killing my old man
I think its gone far enough
I can't take it anymore
I've got to even up the score
Before he sweeps me off the floor
I've really got to find a way
Of taking care of him for good
I know he'd kill me if he could
So I'll nail him to the wood
(Chorus)
Killing my old man
You may not understand
He's a terrible man
Got to make a stand
And kill the old man
(Bridge)
Every time that I think he's gone and I've finally won
He just keeps coming back, puts me on the run
I think I'd better do it now
Get my hammer and a nail
Pray to God I that I won't fail
Lest he'll keep me in the jail
And I don't wanna stay in jail!
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us
Chorus:
You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lovely Lord
You are filled with compassion and mercy and grace
With Your banner of love over me
30 Petra Songs Lyrics
I am longing to see You one day face to face
And to be with You endlessly
Lord, how lovely You are to me
Chorus:
Lovely Lord
You are all to me
Lovely Lord
Full of purity
Worthy of honor and majesty
Lord, how lovely You are to me
You are bright as the sunrise and fairest of all
Unto You all the glory will be
You are God of creation and Lord of my life
I will worship You faithfully
Lord, how lovely You are to me
CHORUS
We will worship the name of the Holiest One
We will worship Your excellency
We will give You the glory
For things You have done
And be thankfully eternally
Lord, how lovely You are to me
CHORUS
Lord, how lovely You are to me
Midnight Oil
We wait since the day He ascended
He said He would come again
Some think it will be such a long time
Some they the know just when
We live like there's no tomorrow
We wait with out lamps of oil
We watch for the midnight hour
The day we cease our toil
When the trumpet sounds and the bridegroom comes
(Chorus)
The wedding's gonna be so royal
So we gotta keep staying loyal
'Cause our feet are gonna leave this soil
When we burn the midnight oil
When we burn the midnight oil
Some wait from the top of the mountain
Away from the world below
Some work while there's still a harvest
No rest when there's seed to sow
We go out to wait for the bridegroom
Some bring oil of readiness
Some lamps will be burned out waiting
Left out in their emptiness
Will our lamps be full at parousia?
Never Say Die
You've been tossing in your sleep
All the promises you made that you couldn't keep
And you're feeling sorry for yourself
Think He's done with you, had Him on the shelf
And you're tired of running the race
Straying to and fro, falling on your face
Oh, you want to throw your towel on in
Brother before you do, you better think again
Never say die, no
4/7
You've come too far to turn back now
Give it one more try and He'll help you through
Never say die, no
We are weak but He is strong
and strength He will supply
When you ask Him to
You went wrong, you remember when
Instead of pressing toward the mark you missed it once again
And you think that you're the only one
Who's ever come your way and done what you have done
So you try to tuck your tail and run
But then you realize you're back where you've begun
Oh can't you see Him waiting there for you?
With arms wide open now, wanting to see you through
Press on, press on
Keep your hand upon that plow
Press on, press on
And he will lead you through somehow
No Doubt
There are times when you feel like you can't go on
There are times when you feel like giving in
And there are times when you feel like you can't try anymore
There are times of trouble in believing
This test of your faith will last
As long as it takes to pass
Till you have no more doubt you'll endure
And your faith will emerge true and pure
(Chorus)
No doubt it'll be alright
With God it'll work together for good
No doubt in the end it will be understood
No doubt it'll all work out
With faith He can move any mountain for us
No doubt in the power of Jesus
And after all is done we find out
All we really need to have is no doubt
There's a time to take a reckless leap of faith
There's a time to be cautious and to wait
And there's a way of learning from the past
That this time of trouble won't last
And sometimes we want to think we know
The ways He will choose to make us grow
But it's never the way of our choosing
And we can't always see what He's using
There will be winters in the seasons of our soul
With a cold and bitter wind that chills our lives
But our faith can be building a fire
That will warm us till springtime arrives
Only By Grace
Only by grace can we enter
Only by grace can we stand
Not by our human endeavor
But by the blood of the Lamb
Into Your presence You call us
Call us to come
Into Your presence You draw us
And now by Your grace we come
We come
Now by Your grace we come
Lord, if You mark our transgressions
30 Petra Songs Lyrics
Who would stand?
But thanks to Your grace
We are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb
Only by grace can we enter
And now by Your grace we come
We come
Now by Your grace we come

St Augustine's Pears
Late one night I heard a knock at the door
We exalt thee
The boys were really painting the town
We exalt thee
I was just another bored teenage boy
We exalt thee, O Lord
Kickin' up and actin' the clown... Yeah
Why Should the Father Bother
One dare led to another dare
Why should the Father
Then things were getting out of control
Bother to call us His children?
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears
Why should the Spirit
And I threw away a part of my soul
Hear it when we pray?
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul (now it's)
Why should the Father
Bother to be concerned with all our needs?
(Chorus)
It's all because of what the Son has done
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved the wrong
Once we were lost out on the ocean
Even though I knew a better way
With no direction or devotion
Not for hunger or poverty
Tossed about by every wind and wave
It was more than pears that I ended up
Now we are in the world, not of it,
throwin' away... Yeah
And we can surely rise above it
Because the Lord has risen from the grave
Time goes by - now I'm old and grey
Those pears are just a memory
And we cry, 'Abba, Father'
I would gladly pay all I have today
'Abba, Father', 'Abba, Father'
But that's just not the problem you
'Abba, Father', 'Abba, Father'
see... ('cause it's)
'Abba, Father'
(Chorus)
Once were strangers from the promise
We were doubters worse than Thomas
Bridge:
'Til the Spirit opened up our eyes
Why do we love all the things that are wrong
Now He has offered us adoption
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
