One of my favorite songs ever, Christian or secular. These lyrics ring so true. We as Christians are so prone to falling asleep and becoming complacent, and it always takes a divine kick in the nuts to rattle our cages and bring us back to consciousness
I have to agree. Bob knew just what to say through Petra's music, and he knew when to say it! Petra wasn't always about just love. They were about all of the Holy Bible. All of it!!!
This song talks about the Church asleep in its apathy getting a wake up call. I really liked it because years before, my cousin who is a amateur song writer wrote something of a wake up call song, but it never was published. It was geared toward evangelism. He titled it "Urgent"
The line "the sleeping giant gets a wake up call" just resonates and gives me chills. If the church, the Body of Christ, comes awake to the enormous power we have been entrusted through His Name, we could shake continents, move mountains, change the world.
QUE BOM QUE POSTARAM OS VÍDEOS E MÚSICAS DA BANDA PETRA, EM MATÉRIA DE LOUVOR EM RITMO DE GOSPEL ROCK ELE TEM O DOM DADO POR DEUS E SABEM FAZER, PARABÉNS.
To all the interpreters, the album came out in '93 and it was to the church in general according to Ronny Cates himself. It's not about the USA or anything political. Almost all Petra song titles are expressions and cliches, like "Sleeping Giant." One of my favorite riffs to play on guitar any day!!!
My dad used to complain about their change in sound in the 90s. I personally prefer unseen power and wake up call to most of their 70s and 80s discography.
Petra - Rock Revelation Lyrics Whoa, sleeping the night away. Darkness enclosing the world so desperate for day. We’re under the spell of dis-unity. When will this giant awake and stand and be free. Now the hour has come to awaken and redeem the time given to the night. Curse this darkness and stand in the light. Can you hear the alarm echo down the hall. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call. Awake from your sleep ‘cause it’s time to stand tall. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call. The sleeping giant gets a wake-up call. It’s an age-old score that’s got to be settled. It’s an age-old debt that’s got to be paid. When the King breaks through in all of His glory. To claim His throne and the world that He made. The nations wait with their armies gathered. With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs. There will be no peace in Armageddon Valley. ‘Til the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes. When He arrives He will conquer them all. Take back the ground given after the fall. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together… I’ve waited patiently for your reply. You say you’ll come around by and by. I’ve tried to show the way into the light. But I just won’t let you go without a fight. You think my hands are tied. But you will never hide, no. I’ve got you in my sight day and night. I’ve got a secret weapon. I’ll pray for you. I’ve got a secret weapon. Gonna get through. I really care about you. I’ll pray for you. The fearless giant faced a brave young shepherd boy. He said, “Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed.” But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero. Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold. They knew they could burn for not doing what they’re told. They’d rather face the fire than to kneel to a god made by hands. It takes a heart of a hero. To stand for what’s right. It takes a heart of a hero. To lay down your life. I was just a young man. With a burning fuse. Headed in the wrong way. ‘Til I heard the news. ‘Bout a substitution. Blood shed for me. ‘Bout a grace so amazing it can make a man free. Now I’m rescued, pulled from the mud. It’s all behind me, under the blood. Underneath the blood. Through the cleansing flood. Guilt is left behind. Never brought to mind. I’m an innocent man. Underneath the blood. I’ve been to the party and I left alone. And I’ve danced with a few that I’d be better off on my own. I’ve been to the altar and I know I kneeled. But I ended up dancing in the grass of another field. Then someone told me, I heard someone say. Dance with the one who brung ya. Dance with the one you know who got you there. Dance with the one who brung ya. Don’t change hats, you know it’s the one you wear. Time is a gift on loan. Fate’s already known. It’s your destiny to make it to the end. It’s your destiny to go against the trend. Heavenly destiny, whoa... Destiny. Destiny. It used to be a distant call. Thought to be for some but never all. Now our wounded lay on every side. Now this call to arms can’t be denied. The enemy will tremble. As young and old assemble. A mighty army up in arms. Armed and dangerous. God’s enemies will scatter. Armed and dangerous. We’ll see the darkness shatter. His armor is worth its weight. No weapon can penetrate. Armed and dangerous. We’re ready to storm the gate. The Earth is shaking. It’s like a bad dream. This world is crumbling. Coming 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 ticking. And we’re getting to the end of the fuse. But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock. Are you ready? I am on the Rock, the sure foundation. I am on the Rock, on the Rock. 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. When the lion lays down with the lamb. There’ll be peace in the land of Abraham. They will beat their swords into plows. When every tongue declares and every knee bows. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together again. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna ride down from heaven from where they’ve been. All the King’s horses and all the King’s men, gonna put this world back together again. Gonna put this world back together again.
My Dad use to play this in the car years and years ago. For some reason I always thought it was a different group singing it. Maybe the one he played was or my youthful mind just didn't pick up on it.

Battle Mage he never had Jesus he resisted temptation as to show for humanity that we can resist sin and that Jesus was tempted just like us but he is still sinless and God
The8..., it's called a ministry. They were spreading the gospel. "For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." -1st Timothy --5:18-- KJV- "Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn." -Deuteronomy 25:4 KJV- Let the minister earn his living from his ministry.
Well The 8, you are entitled to your opinion. If you do not wish to believe in God, it is your choice. -"I've always said; There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know if he believes in anything or not."- M.P.
The8..., somebody has been lying to you. The amazing thing is you're just repeating the lie. No one anywhere is passing laws to restrict your atheism, or to force you into Christianity. How sad that you seem to think so.

This song is just as relevant now as it was when I bought the CD back in 1993. Wonderful band and blessed beyond belief
I see what you did there 😏
One of my favorite songs ever, Christian or secular. These lyrics ring so true. We as Christians are so prone to falling asleep and becoming complacent, and it always takes a divine kick in the nuts to rattle our cages and bring us back to consciousness
Amen
Like "Asleep In The Light" by the late Keith Green. Same subject, but completely different tone, both totally appropriate. Two of MY favorite songs.
One of my favorite Petra songs.... But, I must say I love them all!!!
Every Bob Hartman song is a Sermon!!!
I have to agree. Bob knew just what to say through Petra's music, and he knew when to say it! Petra wasn't always about just love. They were about all of the Holy Bible. All of it!!!
@@ronaldshank7589 Amen Brother
I heard tbis song live back in 94 on the wake up call tour. One of the BEST concerts ever that i have been to.
Praise be to god, Jesus and all of us in God's world and ours here on earth!!!
Out of nowhere this song exploded in my brain today. My CD is in a box somewhere so of course I searched here on TH-cam. Glad this is here lol
Great song great truth

March 21, 2020... This song really fits the time now!!!
The lyrics of this song never go out of date!
This is one of my favorite Petra songs!
Very Good song👍
My favorite Band.
Always loved the outro to this song.
Yes, this does have an awesome outro.

I have been to see them perform before. This was my favorite song that they played during that tour.
I remember on their 94 tour they ended the concert with this song.
My favorite of all time.
este tema es increible no paro de escucharlo
Acho essa a melhor do disco.
my favorite petra song
Petra por siempre los mejores
One of my favorite songs.
Good Song
My fave ❤️❤️
I like the giant sounding voice in the background
The more I listen to this song, it makes me thinks of early Manic Street Preachers (not lyrically of course). Great tune.
Always a favorite.
I remember this from second grade. We used to listen to this going to and from church. Cool.
Thanks for posting
Wow...havent heard this since, like eons ago...Thanks for posting it
I need these albums
this is awesome and love the lyrics
I almost forgot how awesome this album is.
My dad's favorite song of theirs.
Make it go viral
I imagine millions of true Christians, their spirits unites becoming a giant body, with JESUS as the head, thats the giant I reckon
"Sleeping Giant" refers to someone who knows what to do, but doesn't act on it.
a true wake up for everyone be it christian or non believer its time we woke up
My dad used to complain about their change in sound in the 90s. I personally prefer unseen power and wake up call to most of their 70s and 80s discography.
One Gr8 ~ Song !

This song was written by Petra. I think it might have been written by either Bob Hartman or John Schlitt.
Despierta Iglesia!!!
This album ran hot and cold for me. I loved this song and "Underneath the Blood," a lot but I fast forwarded a lot, too.
DaleThompson From Bride Did Background Vocals On This Song ..
Wake up!!!!! Jesus is coming!!!
Proof there were a few good Christian bands in the 90s.

You're right about Admiral Yamamoto. Good call.

I remember about 2000

Church Wake up! Jesus is really near.....Let's obey His commission.....
The Beast is censoring this song on Facebook, wear the armour at all times brothers and sisters
Porque ya no están las letras en ingles y español en la descripción?
You know we need to wake up when everyone would rather come out of the closet instead of clean it.
The Church, still needs a wake up call
This song would work for a Music Video using "Godzilla:King of the Monsters"
Why did you change?
when u were a christian??
Ted Cruz should use this with faith and freedom as rally songs
+Travis Donaldson amen!
Travis Donaldson seriously? It would be sacrilegious
Sorry, but you guys are being played. You’re sleeping
I played this song when the NY GIANTS won the SUPPER BOWL
And you know this HOW exactly?
Heck... Lucifer had "Jesus" and not "religion," but that didn't stop HIM from rebelling, did it?
Battle Mage he never had Jesus he resisted temptation as to show for humanity that we can resist sin and that Jesus was tempted just like us but he is still sinless and God
What he meant is he had religion but didn't know Jesus
Dude you had religion not Jesus.
Lucifer didn't have Jesus What are you talking about. Go back to sleep.!
More people attempting to capitalize on religion/god/gods.
Who are you referring to?
The8..., it's called a ministry. They were spreading the gospel.
"For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, The labourer is worthy of his reward." -1st Timothy --5:18-- KJV-
"Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn." -Deuteronomy 25:4 KJV-
Let the minister earn his living from his ministry.
Well The 8, you are entitled to your opinion. If you do not wish to believe in God, it is your choice.
-"I've always said; There's nothing an agnostic can't do if he really doesn't know if he believes in anything or not."- M.P.
Mr. M. no because religious beliefs are now being made into law..
The8..., somebody has been lying to you. The amazing thing is you're just repeating the lie. No one anywhere is passing laws to restrict your atheism, or to force you into Christianity. How sad that you seem to think so.
