I got saved in 1983 and I walked into a Christian book store and I asked them for a Christian rock cassette and they sold me Petra, “Not of this World”. From there they have been a blessing to me. I still love them at 53 years old in 2018. Praise God for Petra!
Slaterguy That was the first Christian album my parents ever owned. Although neither they nor I are Christians anymore, it still holds up (although some of the choruses are a little silly). I just listened to it on the way home from work the other day and quite enjoyed it- especially the little bass and bongo break in “Blinded Eyes.”
I played this song for my kids in the car. The said 'woah! THAT was Christian music in the 90's? I love this there's actually a guitar in it, how come none of it sounds like that today? '. Too true kids, too true... We've been listening to petra in the car for a week straight.
My go to band for this often struggling Christian since I was 12 in 1988, God bless them for earnest Godly music and all whom seek First The Kingdom of God and His Righteousness 😊
Remember going to see them on this tour in Portland. Was blown away at how good they were live. Been a fan since More Power To Ya and always will be a fan.
No matter when you listen to them, Petra is always cool, talented, headbangers for Christ! I began listening to them back in the late 80s before the Lord saved me using their music; songs like More Power To Ya, Angell of Light, and Judas Kiss. i'd come from head banging, hard and acid rock back ground so they really appealed to me. I still think their awesome and I still get excited when I hear their songs! Thank you God for using Petra to bring me into Your kingdom!
The late 80s -mid 90s there were some killer christian bands. I met Petra 93 ish when i was early in highschool and they played are church which had just built a new giant sanctuary and i was on the stage crew all of these guys were so cool , unlike some other "Christian" artist whom were jackasses i spent an hour chewing johns ear about recording and the days before he was in Petra. Super cool dude
When I was a kid I came home one day to my mom playing this one with the bass booster and amps plugged into the stereo system! The angels on the mantle were shakin'! Good times!
I wasn't even alive when this was recorded, I love Petra, this band is better than than so many of its modern day counter parts, all time favorite band!!
Haven't heard this on over a decade; praise God for Petra and for such a solid (rock) message. This just became my official song for the duration of this over-reacted-to coronavirus. Christians, stand firm on the Rock of Jesus! We're almost out of here!
Good work uploading Petra! Thank God for this great band! And thank God for my girlfriend who introduced me to them! I'm only sorry that I haven't heard of them before.... God bless / Leif
I so LOVE ❤️ this Band. Thank God we have these Videos & thank my families forever friend (& now Pastor & Bible translator) Bob Helm for introducing my sons & I to them over 30 years ago!
It was amazing to see John at a local church in Farmington,Minnesota. It was a small venue with around 50 people! He still has it! God has truly blessed him!
Great song! Outstanding playing by the band and singing by John Schlitt. Not everyone may understand what the non-Petra scenes are about, if they haven't seen the full Beyond Belief video, but it's still enjoyable even without that backdrop.
HEY BROTHERS !! I AM ON THE ROCK TOO !!!!! KEEP THE FAITH !!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR MINISTRY AND YOUR CHRISTIAN WITNESS AT ALL OF YOUR CONCERTS !!!!!! HEY SISTERS TOO , I AM ON THE ROCK -- THE SOLID FOUNDATION !!!!!! THE ONLY HOPE FOR AMERICA THROUGH COVID 19 AND ANY OTHER CRISIS !!!!! ONLY GOD CAN STOP COVID 19 AND NOT MAN !!!!!! AMEN.
I first heard this song in 1992 when I got the tape for my birthday. To this day, Petra is my favorite Christian band of all time. Only Skillet rocks as hard as Petra!
"I Am On The Rock" The earth is shakin' It's like a bad dream This world is crumblin' Comin' apart at the seam, But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock Everywhere I'm turning It's only bad news This bomb is tickin' And we're getting to the end of the fuse, But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock Are you ready? [Chorus] I am on the Rock, the sure foundation I am on the Rock, on the Rock/I am on the Rock/the Rock of Jesus I am on the Rock, His revelation I am on the Rock. Though the winds may blow And though the floods may grow I shall not be moved, 'cause I am on the Rock The storm's approaching, I'm standing high and dry Firmly planted On the Rock that is higher than I, I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock Kingdoms failing, They fall around me Plans eroded And washing away to the sea, I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock Are you ready? [Chorus] There is no Rock in this world but our God! [Chorus]
awesome song, love it , I remember i got a copy of the beyond believe album when i was a kid, it rocked then, an still do. I think this band came heaven sent in a time ACDC ruled .
I thought that was pretty cool too, I think they're more in Charleston in the video though, but Coos Bay and North Bend are big ol' metropolises of the area.
Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Petra's release of the Beyond Belief album & the short movie of the same name. *First heard this on Sunday Morning Praise, which aired on 106.7FM WKMX & saw this video on TBN. I am on the Rock...30 years later, amen!
When me and my twin sister were like 5 years old we climb the bookshelf and turned this song on full blast at 5am in the morning we lived in this complex house it's a split house. The walls were so thin. My mom and dad ran down stairs turned it off. Before they did that me and my twin were jammin out at 5 years old.
Congratulations metalfranlazar777 for all video about PETRA you've uploaded .....God bless you! I'm Cristi and I am fan PETRA of 2004 when I heard by this great band.....
@heduardocl Petra also released a film in 1990 called Beyond Belief and the film had six of their songs from the album in it. Actually, in this movie, Petra are making a cameo appearance(!)
far, far, far finer musicians than bon jovi, aerosmith and def lepperd. Superior composition, superior performance, superior vocals, superior guitar riff work. And they aren't singing about the girl the lead singer slept with the night before last, as all of the other above bands were.
I was debating on whether or not to seek a life of hard drugs. I decided looking to Christian rock for my answers. I wanted to be dissuaded but this came on and now I too am on crack rock. Thank you Petra
wwwowww gracias por subirla veo k no todo es stryper, de hecho este grupo lo encontre mirando stryper...aun asi muy buena cancion me gusta muy rollo ochentero igual una banda como demasiado cristiana para mi...pero aun asi muy bien. gracias por subirlo! keep on rockin!
I'm no longer a Christian, perhaps more of what one might call a synchretist but I believe in Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit while I do not believe the bible is true other than in bits and pieces perhaps. That said, this song is highly inspiring and brings me hope that better days will manifest. I do like the concept of "If God is with me then who can stand against me" or.. well I've forgotten, I was raised to be a minister actually but I grow fuzzy at times.

I WISH I WOULD HAVE NEVER LISTENED TO OZZY OSBORNE AND THEY WORLDY ROCK BANDS IN THE 80'S
Petra still rocks and is still relevant us rockers who love Jesus. It's the praise & worship sound I wish we had at church! :)
chnl2commentisdumb SAME HERE!
You should check out the kiwi group Magnify. Hard rock sound but with that whole church chorus singing lyrics.

I saw Petra live and it was awesome.

I remember when my sister got me hooked on petra. They're an awesome band, and I'm proud to be a Christian.

That's some good stuff right there. Praise God, indeed!
May God keep blessing all Petra members. I had the chance to attend both their concerts in Mexico City.
I remember buying this album in 91' when I was 10. Always loved this song and beyond belief.
This in my opinion is Petra's absolute best album, i love this whole album...
I heard John sing tonight at a festival in Nebraska. He still has the voice God blessed him with and he's still spreading the Word!
The late 80s -mid 90s there were some killer christian bands. I met Petra 93 ish when i was early in highschool and they played are church which had just built a new giant sanctuary and i was on the stage crew all of these guys were so cool , unlike some other "Christian" artist whom were jackasses i spent an hour chewing johns ear about recording and the days before he was in Petra.

Sensacional!!
Pena que é muito raro, ver e ouvir bandas assim na atualidade.
Não me canso de ouvir: "I am on The Rock"
Mas depois deles teve o Guardian, Dc Talk, Third Day...
When I was a kid I came home one day to my mom playing this one with the bass booster and amps plugged into the stereo system! The angels on the mantle were shakin'! Good times!
Its been a long time since I heard Petra! I was looking for some good Christian Rock, and I found it again! Thank the Lord!
Had this whole video on VHS when it came out 20+ years ago. Great to see it again! Thanks for posting...
I wasn't even alive when this was recorded, I love Petra, this band is better than than so many of its modern day counter parts, all time favorite band!!
I'm 15
Petra is Great
Heard it from audio adrenaline song
Damn, I feel old. I'm 45.
Im 51 and bought this cassette so long ago. Great music..
I grew up on Petra Praise! I am trying to have my dad meet them! ❤
When I was about 13 years old this was my favorite song in the whole world
Haven't heard this on over a decade; praise God for Petra and for such a solid (rock) message. This just became my official song for the duration of this over-reacted-to coronavirus. Christians, stand firm on the Rock of Jesus! We're almost out of here!
This album brings back such sweet memories. Thanks!

always classic/,will remian my favorites forever

Very relevant for the world of turmoil we are living in. God bless Petra for this powerful song!

"I Am On The Rock"
The earth is shakin'
It's like a bad dream
This world is crumblin'
Comin' apart at the seam,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Everywhere I'm turning
It's only bad news
This bomb is tickin'
And we're getting to the end of the fuse,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Are you ready?
[Chorus]
I am on the Rock, the sure foundation
I am on the Rock, on the Rock/I am on the Rock/the Rock of Jesus
I am on the Rock, His revelation
I am on the Rock.
Though the winds may blow
And though the floods may grow
I shall not be moved, 'cause I am on the Rock
The storm's approaching,
I'm standing high and dry
Firmly planted
On the Rock that is higher than I,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Kingdoms failing,
They fall around me
Plans eroded
And washing away to the sea,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Are you ready?
[Chorus]
There is no Rock in this world but our God!
[Chorus]
Manuhel Meru Got chills just reading your words. Thanks😊
Thank you for writing the lyrics
They were my favorite band when I was 8, I'm still jamming to their music! Haha, love them so much!
Beyond Belief might be their best album, honestly, and that's saying a lot because Petra has so many Legendary albums and songs!
About 20 years since I heard this and the chorus just popped in my head.
This track is low key a banger!
awesome song, love it , I remember i got a copy of the beyond believe album when i was a kid, it rocked then, an still do.
I think this band came heaven sent in a time ACDC ruled .
I collect rocks and I'm also on The Rock! I love this place I'm in right now and forevermore!!
halleluja,Petra war ein Segen für mich.all the best from Germany.Gob bless Petra.
Eu curto a banda petra, e uma das melhores com certeza!!!
the guitar riff is awesome I got goosebumps when I first heard this amazing song solid band Christian music really rocks
I always loved the way that John Schlitt danced!! It always cracked me up!!
Elbows dipping, fists pumping, and shoulders swaying!!
Filmed in Coos Bay, Oregon...home of an awesome coastline, my hometown, and hometown of runner Steve Prefontaine. Jesus ROCKS!
that's great!blessing!
+therosses5 XD
I agree so much, alright
I thought that was pretty cool too, I think they're more in Charleston in the video though, but Coos Bay and North Bend are big ol' metropolises of the area.

Love this video with the ocean

This guy playing the bass is Ronny Cates one of the best bass player in Petra
Samuel HerMan I still miss Mark Kelly. But I’m an originalist
Slaterguy If you were an originalist, you would miss John DeGroff ;)
Great song!!!!!!!!!!!
John Schlitt and John Lawry are coming back with an old school Petra vibe. Listen to their NEW song Angel or the Butterfly! So exciting!
@
This song just slaps!

Amo o petra, quantas saudades
Petra knows what to play through God and Jesus!!!
One of the best of the best woo.
