Track List |
Album SynopsisSeeking a record company that would promote them, Petra left Word Records after 10 years and came to InPop. Because of more band membership changes, InPop wisely decided to use the "core" of Petra--John Schlitt, Louie Weaver, and Bob Hartman--to make this album. The three were hooked up with producers Jason Halbert and Dwayne Larring, formerly of Sonicflood. The result is a praise album that pushes the Petra sound in creative new directions. The album sounds great, but radio and the CCM industry haven't responded as well as fans hoped. |

Lyrics
Send Revival
Words by Matt Redman
Based on 2 Chronicles 7:14, Isaiah 6:5-8
We're looking to your promise of old
That if we pray and humble ourselves
You will come and heal our land
You will come, You will come
We're looking to the promise You made
That if we turn and look to Your face
You will come and heal our land
You will come, You will come
To us
Send revival, start with me
For I am one of unclean lips
And my eyes have seen the King
Your glory I have glimpsed
Send revival, start with me
The Noise We Make
This is the noise we make with our voice and with our hands
We've come to celebrate all across this land
The joy that's in our hearts makes us want to dance for you
Join as the angels sing and worship as they do
And we worship you alone with our songs of praise
One day before your throne
This is the noise we make
You are worthy, worthy
You are worthy, worthy
You are holy, holy
You are holy, holy
And we worship you alone with our songs of praise
One day before your throne
This is the noise we make
Oasis
You give me water in a dry and thirsty land
You satisfy my hunger
Yo feed me from your hand
I was a wanderer in the wildnerness
Until I stumbled on your oasis
And I will stay here with you
Here in the shade, here in the cool
You keep me safe through the night in your oasis
You give your spirit
To a dry and thirsty heart
You satisfy my longing
I hear the voice of God
I was a wanderer in my emptiness
Until you brought me near your oasis
And I will stay here with you
Here in the shade, here in the cool
You keep me safe through the night in your oasis
And I will drink from your well
I find my peace here in your shelter
And I will stay here with you in your oasis
The Prodigal's Song
I'm only happy when I'm with you
And living life the way you show me
Whenever I'm apart, I grow a colder heart
I only feign my love for you
And if a day goes by without speaking
I love like I don't really need you
But in my heart I find I recognize the lie
My every breath I draw from you
And I still find you true, pulling me back to you
(Chorus)
To you I will run
The prodigal son
Coming back home again to you
Open your arms
And into your heart
I'm folded in love again with you
And every moment that I've wasted
Chasing after my own dreaming
I know you will forgive and wipe away the tears
For all the lonely foolish years
And I will try to be true, living each day with you
All that I am
And all that I have
And all I can be
Is found in you
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
(Chorus)
Because your love came down
Your love came down
Your love came down
And it saved, it saved me
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe this far
And grace will lead me home
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright-shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
Jesus, Friend of Sinners
There is a voice that must be heard
There is a song that must be sung
There is a name that must be lifted high
There is a treasure more than gold
There is a king upon the throne
There is one whose praise will fill the skies
(Chorus)
His name is Jesus, friend of sinners
Jesus, Jesus
Friend of mine
There is a peace that calms our fears
There is a love stronger than death
There is a hope that goes beyond the grave
There is a friend who won't let go
There is a heart that beats for you
There is one name by which we are saved
When I was captive to my fears
You were the one who came to me
You set me free
You set me free
Better is One Day
How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for you
For here my heart is satisfied
Within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings
(Chorus)
Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere
One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells
My heart and flesh cry out
For you, the living God
Your spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to you
I will draw near to you
Meet with Me
I'm here to meet with you
Come and meet with me
I'm here to find you
Reveal yourself to me
(Chorus)
As I wait, you make me strong
As I long, you draw me to your arms
As I stand and sing your praise
You come, you come, and you fill this place
Won't you come, won't you come, and fill this place
Satisfy
You are all I seek and all I know
I am satisified in you alone
I've found nothing in this world
That seems so sweet
As your presence in a life laid at your feet
(Chorus)
And my cry
Lord my cry
Is that you are good
And that you satisfy
You are all I seek and all I am
In you I am complete, in grace I stand
When I wandered far from you
You brought me here
You've brought me to the cross
You've brought me here
My delight is your faithfulness and truth
My desire is to quench my thirst in you
We Want to See Jesus Lifted High
We want to see Jesus lifted high
A banner that flies across the land
That all men might see the truth and know
He is the way to heaven
(Chorus)
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
We want to see, we want to see
We want to see Jesus lifted high
Step by step, we're moving forward
Little by little, taking ground
Every prayer a powerful weapon
Strongholds come tumbling down and down and down and down
We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high
We're gonna see, we're gonna see
We're gonna see Jesus lifted high
How Long
We have sung our songs of victory
We have prayed to you for rain
We have cried your compassion
To renew the land again
Now we're standing in your presence
More hungry than before
Now we're on your steps of mercy and we're knocking at your door
How long
Before you drench the barren land
how long
Before we see Your righteous hand
How long
Before your name is lifted high
How long
Before the weeping turns to songs of joy
Lord, we know your heart is broken
By the evil that you see
And you've stayed your hand of judgment
For your plan to set men free
But the land is still in darkness
And we've fled from what is right
And we've failed the silent children
Who will never see the light
But I know a day is coming
When the deaf will hear his voice
When the blind will see the savior
And the lame will leap for joy
When a widow finds a husband
Who will always love his bride
And the orphan finds a father
Who will never leave her side
How long
Before your glory lights the skies
How long
Before your radiance lifts our eyes
How long
Before your fragrance fills the air
How long
Before the earth resounds with songs of joy
