Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus - 1997 |

Track List |
Album SynopsisThis album brought more change for Petra. It was the first praise album they'd done in nine years, and recent additions Cooper and Lichens, as well as bassist Ronnie Cates all departed. Kevin Brandow, Pete Orta, and Lonnie Chapin came on board. This has some cool arrangements, and I love the way all the praise songs turned out. Bob Hartman made the most of his time after he stopped touring. He wrote three excellent songs, especially "Lovely Lord." |

I Waited for the Lord on High
Words and music by Bill Batstone

I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry
He pulled me out of my despair
He taught me how to walk
From fear into security
From quicksand to the Rock

I sing to let the people know
That I have been restored
And they will kneel and understand
To return and trust in the Lord

In my heart to sing
There's a new song
Praises for my King
I waited
Lovely Lord

With Your banner of love over me
I am longing to see You one day face to face
And to be with You endlessly
Lord, how lovely You are to me

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

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 thankful eternally

Medley
"Only by Grace" words and music by Gerrit Gustafson
"To Him Who Sits on the Throne" words and music by Debbye Graafsma
"You Are Holy" words and music by Scott Wesley Brown
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
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
To Him who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
To Him who sits on the throne
And unto the Lamb
Be blessing and honor
And glory and power forever
Be blessing and honor
And glory and power forever
You are Holy
Oh, Lord, so Holy
You are Holy
Oh, Lord, so Holy
What a privilege and an honor
To worship at Your throne
To be caught into Your presence
As Your own
You are Holy
Oh, Lord, so Holy
You are worthy
Oh, Lord, so worthy
You are faithful
Oh, Lord, so faithful
Be blessing and honor
And glory and power forever
Be blessing and honor
And glory and power forever...
We Need Jesus
Words and music by John and Dino Elefante and Scott Springer
Verse 1:
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
If we open our eyes
We will all realize
That He loves us
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
When our hearts are as one
And believe that He's the Son of our God
(Chorus)
The Lord is our God
And we shall never want
The Lord is our God
And we shall live forever
When we share the love of Jesus
See each other as He sees us
Then His love will see us through
His love will see us through
Verse 2:
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
When sister and brother
Love one another as one
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
Will we ever understand
Jesus is the Son of man?
We must live in the shadow of His love
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Verse 2
