I was a missionary for 14 years. When I would finish my presentation, I played this song. Thank you to all who gave for 14 years. 1.2 million. We built schools, churches, medical clinics, etc
Wooooooooooow tears coming down uncontrollably. Back in 1990 when I first heard this song I was so on fire for God and wanted to tell the world about him and his amazing love. Bad news a year after that a slipped into an alcohol and drug addiction for 30 years. Good news January 8 2020 the Lord delivered me and now I'm more than ready to share about his amazing love. This is my prayer❤
I was living with my boyfriend who was in a rock band when this album came out. I was turning to the Lord, but he wasn't. This tape just happened to be in the cassette deck in my car when he borrowed my car. He told me about how he cried when this song came on and he prayed to God for the first time in a long time. We eventually split up, but it always stuck with me about how powerful a song can be when God uses it to reach someones heart. Petra was used by God that day.
I loved Petra when I was in high school too. Back in the 80s. I wish I would have followed them more than Rock singers. But, God kept fighting for me. And I'm back to following God's will and listening to music that I wouldn't be ashamed of listening to if he was right next to me.
I was a teenager in high school when i found petra on fire . beyond belief. Unseen power this band helped me so much cause i never had friends cause i was in special education and i was about to commit suicide then i heard this song playing on the radio and it saved my life since then I've always loved petra
Praise JESUS for this miracle! God has TRULY anointed Petra and used them in MIGHTY ways! John Schlitt almost committed suicide before he came to the Lord, but God picked him up at JUST the right time!
Anyone here at the end of 2021? As a young 24yr old (thank you parents for amazing musical taste), I feel like we need to hear this one now, more than ever. Will never tire of John Schlitt's voice and the truth from this music.
I am a mom now, but I heard Petra early in the 80’s. This ministry changed my life; I thought that me loving rock music so, there would never b a chance for me to be accepted by God or his people. What a mind blowing experience when I heard Petra! The lyrics of their songs based on the Scriptures, I was blown away! I could worship my Lord and Savior with the songs and music that I really liked. Then I came to love this ministry and kept listening. All I have from Petra are cassettes, because then there were no CD’s. God gave Jesus to all peoples, tribes, to the whole world! He took care of all our differences, and even there He did a wonderful job. Thank you for this video, may God bless you more and your loved ones as well! You have made my heart burst in very sweet, warm memories from those days with Petra.🕊💞
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing this song with everyone! Every praise and Glory to our Lord! in Jesus' precious name
This band was dad's favorite Christian band, I miss you dad 8::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::( I will see you in heaven soon when Jesus Christ the son of God comes to take us home. R.I.P.
In divorce my kids were taken from me... this song was my cry/prayer and the lyrics so timely. “Keep the ones I love so dearly through their emptiness while I am gone; and fill the loneliness in me, in me.” .... “Knowing you [Jesus] care, so much more than I do...”. “Keep us from the evil that devours”.... “Keep us in your light until your kingdom comes...” “In Jesus name, your will be done, I humbly claim.”
Ouvi essa canção pela primeira vez aos meus 13 anos, e até hj aos meus 44 anos de idade ainda é pra mim a maior declaração de amor e adoração ao Rei dos Reis...
I agree with all of you. When I came across this song tonight, it took me back to another time when life was simple, yet uncertain. There was comfort in the message. Now, as I live in the middle season of my life and raise kids, that message is stronger and more relivant than ever. "This is my prayer."
Thank you Jesus for Petra's ministry...May Our God bless each one of Petra members, as they did bless us for so many years... I pray that God may raise more people like them to bless and transform our generation...
I remember listening to this cassette and praying this song over my family as a teen I prayed for my future kids and wife, as well as my current family. This is such a powerful song. As an adult it still stirs me.
I love the dynamic in this song - John sings at the end of the choruses "I lift it in Your Name" except for the last chorus when he says "In Jesus Name". I am stirred every time I hear this song. Thank you Petra!
All of their songs speak volumes, BUT there is none like this one. Everytime I hear it, it moves me, and most recently with becoming a Chaplain in the Fire Service and Interim Pastor, the words of the 2nd verse speak of what I believe!!! Thanks to whomever is sharing this song, plz let it be a tool to lead so many to Christ.
this is my prayer lifted to you Knowing you care even more than I do I cry almost everytime and put this song so loud and sing and pray as loud as I can
i heard this song about 22 years ago when i was with the world but it touched me then..now that i am saved it touches me even more.....Beautiful and inspiring lyrics
I thank God for the ministry He gave Petra. The influence they had on a 15 year old new convert is beyond description . The passion and holy desire they brought to Christian music has helped many in their walks with Christ. To think that alot of the church was against Christian music of any kind , unless it was approved by them, is a travesty . Thankful that they continued on .
What a fantastic song ! This is my prayer too... Have been listening to Petra music through this morning and it's been a wonderful time of worshiping the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords !
First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve Keep the ones I love so dearly Fill their emptiness while I am gone And fill the loneliness in me This is my prayer Lifted to You Knowing You care even more than I do This is my prayer Lifted in Your name Your will be done I humbly pray Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do To a generations struggling to find themselves in You May they come to know the love of God May their eyes be made to see Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free And may unity in all things Be the banner of Your church And let revival's fire…
David from the Bible wasn't a contemporary writer, but can you imagine hearing him sing his praises back then? Playing an harp? And filled with the Holy Spirit? Now, that would've been something! :)
I'm realizing now that as I was growing up, this song really helped me to shape and focus the way I thought about prayer and what to say in it. Just thinking about the words "knowing You care even more than I do" transforms the way I pray. To God be the glory.
Hermosa canción de Petra. cuantas veces me ha hecho llorar Suplicando misericordia y compasión por mis amados al padre eterno en el nombre de Cristo Jesus. Gracias mi Dios amado por grupos musicales que tu has levantado para darte la honra y la gloria en todo el mundo Te amo padre eterno
@@robertosanchez6979 así es El Padre que esta en los cielos de todo lis protegerá Amo a mi familia es un tesoro que Dios me dio y que algún día espero ver en el reino de los cielo
Marcaron mi adolescencia y tuve la bendición de verlos por primera vez en la cruzada juvenil de Dante Gebel en el año 2005 en el estadio de River Plate,sus canciones siempre han edificado mi vida!
Obrigado Jesus por esse ministèrio...Que Deus abençoe a cada um do Petra, como eles nos abençoaram por tantos anos...Q Deus venha levantar mais pessoas como eles pra tocar a nossa geraçâo...
WOW, dit is so absoluut AMAZING verby - Om die woorde te lees terwyl jy die musiek luister. Dit is net asof dit so tot jou diepste wese praat. SO kragtig! Dit is ook sulke absolute feite - dit is alles wat ek deesde so intens raaksien vasgevat … dit raak ṅ mens se hart so dit praat so met jou diepste binnekamer van jou siel. Prys die Here dit is Baie Mooi! Mag dit ons motiveer en oproep tot Gehoorsame diens in die laaste pylvak wat ons hier op aarde betree en my GEBED is met trane in my oë- dat mense se oê en ore sal open sodat hulle die roepstem kan hoor en volg…

Amen and Glory be to God for your obedience
Super cool!
If a Christian rock band can reach people like they did for you..these guys will!

“Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do” Amen! We are living expressions of God 🙏🏼💙
Yes WHAT a prayer!!! BEAUTIFUL
Petra helped bring me to Christ in 1984. This particular song is more relevant than ever. God help us in this present darkness.
Amen and Grace for your friends & family
@@larrejackson8722 Same to you!

“In Jesus name, your will be done, I humbly claim.”

Man this brings back memories
Let us grow up for when we were young, we thought as a child. Now we are warriors of Christ Jesus! The victory is ours! Praise His awesome name!
Ouvi essa canção pela primeira vez aos meus 13 anos, e até hj aos meus 44 anos de idade ainda é pra mim a maior declaração de amor e adoração ao Rei dos Reis...
Got to meet John through the "storyteller tour" at Green Bay, WI. Awesome man.
"let me the evidence of what your grace can do to a generation struggling to find themselves in you" pure poetry and pure genius=]
bob is my hero
This song continues to bless me to this day . Petra was impressive to me on certain songs ." Glory be to the Heavenly Father and the son ."
i have always been a big Petra fan. I am 33 years old now but the message of these songs are still meaningful. I still love these guys.
I agree with all of you. When I came across this song tonight, it took me back to another time when life was simple, yet uncertain. There was comfort in the message.

I will be singing this for church this Sabbath!!

I remember this song when I attended a youth camp.We made an interpretative dance and I danced with this song as my prayer 🙏🙏
My favorite Christian Rock album of all time (BY FAR!!!!!). Listening to it again as I have matured as a Christian only makes me appreciate it more.
+Pavel Smola thanks!

This is my prayer too...
Have been listening to Petra music through this morning and it's been a wonderful time of worshiping the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords !
First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve
Keep the ones I love so dearly
Fill their emptiness while I am gone
And fill the loneliness in me
This is my prayer
Lifted to You
Knowing You care even more than I do
This is my prayer
Lifted in Your name
Your will be done I humbly pray
Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You
May they come to know the love of God
May their eyes be made to see
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free
And may unity in all things
Be the banner of Your church
And let revival's fire…
A very outstanding voice! So very powerful! God bless you!
Such a beautiful prayer in the shape of a song..... Thank you Petra!
This is a beautiful song, I always loved this one!!!
"Be the banner of your church"......Amen🙏
David from the Bible wasn't a contemporary writer, but can you imagine hearing him sing his praises back then? Playing an harp? And filled with the Holy Spirit? Now, that would've been something! :)
