1984?? I accepted Jesus as my saviour in 1985, December 8. And I got that tape a few months later. Wow, time does fly when you're saved, having fun and listening to good Christiam Music! God bless you all.
Bravo Petra....no podías ni debías quedarte callada un gran grupo, gracias por regalarnos música que realmenete alaba al Señor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them last July at Kingdom Bound in upstate New York, and it was an awesome experience, they were up on stage ministering to the masses through their music! The air was tingling with The Holy Spirit!
I love Petra. What a great band. There are so many great Christian Rock bands from the 70's and 80's. Best era. Barnabas, Daniel Band, Petra, Joe English, Sweet Comfort, Allies, AD, too many to count or name. It was an awesome time for the message and music.
They are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack! Yes! GXV the Golden voice with a range that is not of this world. I hope they come to omaha ne. I seen them back in 80 or 80 when tiickets where oh 8.00! I will pay what ever they charge to see the original line up for sure. btw my favorite band. who is the one dislike. lay hand on them and pray! lol.... just teasing.
@RocketCityRocker dude....TBN had like a 2 hour long documentary on them, followed by a 2011 reunion concert....that was the first time I've ever heard of Petra, and WOW. That's all I have to say. lol. praise the Lord for these guys
This is incredible! I grew up on this lineup, and remember seeing Greg with Pieces of 8 back in 1986 in Phoenix. No matter the lineup, Petra has used by our Lord to touch MILLIONS of lives.
What a great sound, definately one up on the original recording. Greg's voice is jawdropping, most high pitch guys from that era cannot do those notes anymore. And the rythm section, keys, guitars.....all happening.
Good to hear Greg after so many years. I cut my teeth on Greg X Voltz, and stayed right on through the John Schlitt years without missing a beat. Petra's music grew and matured even as I did. I was 8 when Not of this world came out, and I bought each album as they released it, right on through "Jekyl and Hyde"
The original is the last song on the Beat the Sytem Album 1985. I used to play it over and over until the tape popped. Then I "scotch taped" it back together.
@nibornna It's the same vocalists as on the 1984 Beat The System album, however, Greg's voice has changed with age. But he can still hit some of the same high notes as you will notice on here. He was great live in concert.
Classic PETRA!! In concert at Circleville Church of the Nazarene July 30, 2011 at 8:00 pm. Doors open at 7:30pm. Tickets are: $9 in advance $15 at the door $25 VIP (includes preferred seating and meet and greet with the band) Questions??? Call the church office at 740.474.7350
That is because they re-recorded this song and now that he is older his range may not be as wide. It can happen to vocalists who have recorded and performed live as long as Mr. Volz
there was no petra tape released in 85 it was not until 1986 that the next relase came out CAPTURED IN TIME AND SPACE which was 2 cassettes and what was thought to be GREG X. VOLV last performance with PETRA fortunately this was not so :7D
Is this Greg Volz on vocals? I loved them but lost intrest in them when John Shlitt or whatever his name was. By the way I saw the Beat the ststem tour in 1985, I'm that old.
Put Jesus Christ in the center of my life.
And put my trust in God.
For what was broken.

Greg X. Volz' vocals here is waaaaaay more better that the original version, much more fuller, rich. God bless Petra!
first time i heard this song when i was 15 years old.. This song is full of bless
Same here. I was 15 at the time. This was my favorite song from the album.
The Great band of all time.
God is the center!!! Petra, forever! Rock in Roll! Amazing!
Indeed it is. That's Greg in the middle in the pic. Class Petra is currently on tour ALL over right now, and they are AMAZING!!!!!

Petra Forever!!!!
Some just look for a reason to argue.Just pray for em and enjoy your walk w/ God.
I love the twoo versions... but the original from 1984 is more special to me... bring happy memories... =)

Petra, wow, I am different now, but they make me believe i could still believe
This is incredible! I grew up on this lineup, and remember seeing Greg with Pieces of 8 back in 1986 in Phoenix. No matter the lineup, Petra has used by our Lord to touch MILLIONS of lives.
no other band has come close to Christian bands as Petra, a very special band,
What a great sound, definately one up on the original recording. Greg's voice is jawdropping, most high pitch guys from that era cannot do those notes anymore. And the rythm section, keys, guitars.....all happening.
It was so amazing getting to see them live in august!!! Dream come true
So Amazing!.....takes me back to when God wooed my soul....
AMEN MY BROTHER."
82 OR 83 BUT YOU ARE THE CLOSEST TO IT SO ROCK ON
Good to hear Greg after so many years. I cut my teeth on Greg X Voltz, and stayed right on through the John Schlitt years without missing a beat. Petra's music grew and matured even as I did.

2019 ok estamos aqui petra
Excelente canción, los escucho desde niño, ojala sigan grabando en español algo para nosotros, Dios los bendiga.
This is great - wish they would record the whole album updated like this.
ah, the old days of listening to music. :D
Adonai,one of my favorite song of Petra.
i love petra
How great n special gospel rock band
The original is the last song on the Beat the Sytem Album 1985. I used to play it over and over until the tape popped. Then I "scotch taped" it back together.
Um belo sincronismo, estas músicas me faz bem a minha alma sou um grande admirador do Petra. Benção de Deus.
I don't own this Album, but I Love it and I will get it.
"Unchanging, consuming fire, lift me up from mud and mire." :)
Love this Group ever! God Bless Petra !
This is one of my favorite songs of Petra's. It's a very good revision of the the original done by Petra in 2005:) ^5
Una de mis bandas cristianas favoritas.
I hear ya! I did that with a lot of my Christian Rock tapes...but I seem to think it was worth it. :D
SILLY RABBIT the origional was on BEAT THE SYSTEM in 1982 or 1983.
It sounds so... FULL!
@nibornna It's the same vocalists as on the 1984 Beat The System album, however, Greg's voice has changed with age. But he can still hit some of the same high notes as you will notice on here. He was great live in concert.
Adonai
@nibornna John is actually still performing. He's about to release another solo album. I saw him in 2009, he's still got it too.
awesome song :3, :)
is beautiful
Yeahhh !! Petra 4 Ever
I love this song!
it could not have been 1985 because I joined the NAV in 85 the tour might have been in 84 or 83 though.

Cezar Santos que bom
suzane cavalcante Incrível, eu gosto de todas as fases da banda .
q buen tema! bien roock!! q grande petraaa!
this is in a lower key than original song
That is because they re-recorded this song and now that he is older his range may not be as wide. It can happen to vocalists who have recorded and performed live as long as Mr. Volz
there was no petra tape released in 85 it was not until 1986 that the next relase came out CAPTURED IN TIME AND SPACE which was 2 cassettes and what was thought to be GREG X. VOLV last performance with PETRA fortunately this was not so :7D
Greg X. Volz!!!!!!!
Buenisimo!!!!!!!
Adonai en hebreo significa Señor; la Biblia dice que el nombre del Señor Dios es Yavhé o Jehová (buscar libro de Isaías Cap. 42 vers. 8 )
As vezes me pergunto se sou o unico que te o disco deles e tenho apenas 15 anos

Yes..

Is this Greg Volz on vocals? I loved them but lost intrest in them when John Shlitt or whatever his name was. By the way I saw the Beat the ststem tour in 1985, I'm that old.
Yes, Greg is on the vocals. I attended a Petra concert in '84 during the "Not of This World" tour.
