Petra - Come And Join Us Lyrics






We are like stones built together in a wall
Made up of whosoever the Master Builder calls
We are not worthy but together we are strong
Built on the Rock of Ages the wall is almost done

[Chorus]
Come and join us in the sunlight
You've been sittin' in the shade too long
Come and give us a chance to sing you a song
Come and join us in the sunlight
If you would reach you could touch the sky
Come and drink from the well that will never run dry

We are like stranger and pilgrims in this world
Lifting the blood stained banner our flag has been unfurled
We have a homeland no eyes have ever seen
But those who've gone before us whose souls have been redeemed

[Repeat Chorus]

We are like children held in the Father's hand
Growing into the image of Christ the Son of Man
We are not perfect but changing every day
Through trials and tribulation we'll find the perfect way

[Repeat Chorus]

  1. T.... F....

    The vocals have always felt very “REO Speedwagon” to me. Love it.

  2. N.... B....

    Got a "Brady bunch" vibe to it.

  3. B.... ....

    I wish I could have been able to see them back in the seventies just to say I did. Too bad I was 1 years old in 1977 :-).

  4. t.... ....

    Saw this album live at Sarasota Jr High around 1977 maybe 78

  5. D.... H....

    Yes, he did!

  6. d.... ....

    For the 1950s and 60s, this would have been a long song (more than 4 minutes). But for today, it's short. Oh, well, if it's a good song, 10 minutes is too short and if it's a bad song, 1 minute is too long. I guess it depends on your perspective.

  7. d.... ....

    Actually, the album was released in 1977. I guess it could have been recorded in 1976.

  8. J.... G....

    @SquierMini yes he did! that is why on future albums Gregg X Volz and John Schlitt was the lead vocals - not too bad..but more of a garage band feel back then..I still love this song-no one beats Petra for plain talent and energy and holy ghost anointing - and they did it all without drugs or alcohol!!! :)

  9. Q.... ....

    Did Hartman Sing This Song?

    Q.... ....

    YES. .. Bob Hartman lead singer on this Album..

    Q.... ....

    Also Bob Hartman Made the Band
    1974 - 2005 ...

  10. F.... T....

    Amazingly true and well assembled/ arranged lyrics moreso...

  11. M.... S....

    o bom e velho rock in roll...e ainda cristão!!!Deus é bom!!

  12. R.... B....

    This was my favorite all-time Petra Song. My only regret was that it was so short.
