Track List

Album SynopsisWhen I first listened to this CD, I was surprised by the rock sound on many of the songs. I guess I didn't know what to expect. In any case, this CD is a lot of fun, since it is a Praise CD, but there is a huge variety here. Petra's renditions of these classic songs range from hard rock, to slow and worshipful, to fun and upbeat 50s style music. While I like this album, the lack of consistency kinda makes it lose a little something, and so I enjoy Petra Praise 2 a lot more. |

Lyrics
I Love the Lord
Words by Bob Hartman
Well I don't care what some may say
Gonna stand up for the Lord today
Well I don't care if they all know
Gonna let the Lord's redeemed say so
Gonna say it loud - gonna say it proud
Hey! I, I love the Lord
I, I love the Lord
Come join the throng - ten million strong
Come lift your voice and sing this victory song
Gotta choose today whom you will serve
Don't try to wait to find the nerve
The lines are drawn - no middle ground
Don't you know you're either lost or found
King of Kings
Words and music by Saphie Conty and Naomi Batya
King of kings and Lord of lords, glory
Hallelujah
King of kings and Lord of lords, glory
Hallelujah
Jesus, Prince of Peace, glory
Hallelujah
Jesus, Prince of Peace, glory
Hallelujah
Jesus, Jesus, Glorious One
Words and music by Curtis Peifer
Let all the saintly ones in God rejoice
The battle's won so lift your voice
Declare His Name the glorious King
Lift up the standard of triumph and sing
Crown Him Lord the conqueror of evil
He shed His blood to redeem all His people
And now we join the procession of Him
To hail Him Lord and glorious King
Jesus, Jesus, glorious One
Jesus, Jesus, God's risen Son
Jesus, Jesus, forever we'll sing
Jesus, Jesus, we'll hail you as King
The Battle Belongs to the Lord
Words and music by Jamie Owens-Collins
In heavenly armour we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord
We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
(repeat)
The power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord
When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take Me In
Words and music by Dave Browning
Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
The priests who sing Your praise
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
And it's only found one place
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Salvation Belongs to Our God
Words and music by Adrian Turner and Pat Howard
Salvation belongs to our God
Who sits upon the throne
And unto the Lamb
Praise and glory
Wisdom and thanks
Honor and power and strength
Be to our God forever and ever
Be to our God forever and ever
And we the redeemed shall be strong
In purpose and unity
Declaring aloud
The King of Glory Shall Come In
Words and music by Bob Hartman
The Levites returned with the Ark of the Land
The presence and strength of the God they adored
The temple was shut with the gatekeepers near
The priests would sing out till their nation could hear
Be lifted up everlasting doors
The King of Glory shall come in
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord strong and mighty
Open your gates to the Lord of Hosts
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord mighty in battle
The King of Glory shall come in
The King of Glory shall come in
Who can ascend to the hill of the Lord
Those with clean hands and an innocent heart
Who can be found in His holy place
Those who are humble and seek his face
Now we are the temple, He dwells in our hearts
The priesthood of faith that His Spirit imparts
This King is the One who can save from sin
He stands at the door and He wants to come in
No Weapon Formed Against Us Shall Prosper
Author Unknown
No weapon formed against us shall prosper
All those who rise up against us shall fall
I will not fear what the devil may bring me
I am a servant of God
I am a servant of God

I will pray like David prayed (slow)
I Will Sing Praise
Words and music by Jacque DeShetler
I will sing praise to God my King
I will sing praise

My meditation of Him shall be sweet because I love Him
I will give my heart in celebration
And lift my voice on high
And make a joyful noise
