Album Synopsis

This album features 10 acoustic re-arrangements of classic Petra songs, along with 2 new ones: "The Longing," written by Joel Hanson, and "Breathe In," written and sung by Pete Orta. John Schlitt wasn't lying when he told me in an interview last year that it was a "big sound." The orchestra backing the band up really adds to the songs. I was pleased to hear some of Pete's trademark "wah-wah" guitar wizardry on one or two songs. "Breathe In" is absolutely fabulous, one of the best new Petra songs in a while.

Lyrics

Breathe In
Words and music by Pete Orta

When the rain was coming down on my face
Your love was the sun that I embraced
All the things in my heart for so long
Need to fall in the sea of forever gone
When there's days I could really fall in
It's in the dark you may see your only friend
So visit me in my castle of sand
Fill the walls with your presence once again

You can hear me and I can feel you when

(Chorus)
I close my eyes and I dream
Of the day you'll come for me
I close my eyes and I dream
But until the day, I need your love to set me free
I want you to breathe into me

Living life is what I want out of me
To capture love and then to set it free
So give me wings and I'm out of here
to set in flight all the things you made so clear

I've walked the line between love and fear
And took the time to know life is sheer
Take me with you
It moves too fast, oh this world I'm in
To face the past, lets me rest again
I'll take you with me

The Longing
Words by Joel Hanson

In each heart there is a longing
In each soul a desperate cry
To know if life has some true meaning
Or if we simply live and die
Earthly pleasures and possessions
Leave the sinking spirit dry
In each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies

In each life there comes the question
Is there more than meets the eye
And what will we see of the eternal
When the well of days runs dry?
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies

Mystery on a hillside
The purest love expressed
Guilty lips cry forgive me
In that moment I found rest

So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
