Petra - Dead Reckoning Lyrics
[Based on Romans 6:11, Galatians 2:20]
It's a new day at last, but you're sinking so fast
If left up to your head, you'd remember the past
But a new day has come and new life has begun
There's got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit beckoning
It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning
You've got nothing to lose but you do have to choose
And although you feel odd there are many who trod
Till they're dead to the world but alive unto God
Some still believe it can't be done
To the steady the race is still won
And the battle is already through
And it's hard to believe but it's true
On a hill long ago where the blood runs below
Died a King, two thieves, and you

This still is a JAMMING tune! I believe that Petra was the Def Leppard of Christian music back in 1987!
Yeah!!! The lyrics always takes me back to God with Zeal and Joy!!!
May Zeus and his lady Hera reclaim your spirit.

@mattkshirley Was wondering where all you are, true christians that is, living a crucified life. Adelaide is a small town with only prosperity churches
This is a good song and very 80's. I like the way Petra's music takes you to different frontiers
Very very beautyful music! I love the bass and the drum in this song! God bless you!
