CLASSIC ONE LINERS IN PETRA SONGS

[petrafan]

"It's His delight to give you your desire. It's His desire to set your life on fire..."
Hit You Where You Live always gives me a chill up my spine when i listen to it... brrrrr

"There's a salutation that's reserved for Heaven's own..."

[jimmye4563]

I believe it's Humanistic lies lament not admit

Goes to show how much I know...

nobody's perfect.

[sue d.]

This one is so insightful and a great way to explain heaven and our relationship to each other:

"We'll remember them for now, but not then"

from "Hello Again" off of God Fixation


talk about a twist of words that really make sense!

[js3971]

I remember the song, but I couldn't think of the line of of Sue's quote, so I had to go look it up. I wasn't quite sure what you meant, but understand now.

Every argument will be forgotten
We remember them for now but not then

[Pethead1]

Cant pick 1 but here are a few.


You take a bath on Sunday if you need it or not.

You can dare to win by losing all.

But I've done nothing that His blood can't wash away.


God knows the way you better stick like glue.

The steps of a righteous man are lead by a Masters plan.

AND When you abide He will provide,never short handed

[charl]

kay this one I know I have right:

I've got the blood of an innocent man all over me.

The song is kind of meh, but what a doctrinal punch that one line holds.

[Susannah]

Susannah that quote at the bottom for the Stryper song "If I Die" is an awesome song; That is my favorite song on Reborn.

It's my favorite song, too, which it was really hard to pick one, cuz I love the whole album. But that song and particularly that line really grabbed me.

And to make this post Petra related, Stryper's new bass player, Tracy Ferrie, was in two different bands with Quinton Gibson, both before and after Q was in Petra. (Seraiah and Strange Celebrity, respectively.)

[Susannah]

Ok, here's another fave, from "Beyond Belief", which is my very favorite Petra song. "Knowing that you can't stand still, you cross the bridge."

[petrafan]

"It's His delight to give you your desire. It's His desire to set your life on fire..."
Hit You Where You Live always gives me a chill up my spine when i listen to it... brrrrr

"There's a salutation that's reserved for Heaven's own..."

.. and, obviously, "I wanna live until I die..."

[blod6ett]

The evidence leads to conviction, When we don't live everything we say;
There's got to be a crucifixion, We can live dying everyday.

+

That's a big one.

[js3971]

Here's a good one, and one to consider as Petra retires:

But where will you be when the music's gone...

[St_Augustines_Pears]

For my favorites, check my signature below.

Others I like (some might be more than one line)

"It's a mine field, you better watch where you tread...step off the path and you could end up dead!" -- from "Mine Field"

"Why do we love all the things that are wrong
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
Why do we do what we don't want to do
When we live with regrets our whole life through" -- from "St. Augustine's Pears"

"And I am glad that You are not at all like me...'cause You laid down Your life, and did it willingly" -- from "If I Had To Die For Someone"

"Everybody's gonna be there waiting
They just want to see you graduating
Gonna see the ones who've gone before us
They'll be cheering in a mighty chorus" -- from "Hello Again"
