Petra - Not By Sight Lyrics






[Based on 2 Corinthians 6:9, Romans 5:1-5, Haakkuk 2:3-4, Galatians 5:16-24, Hebrews 6:11-12]

Sometimes we're runnin' along
Blind to where we're goin'
Sometimes we lose our bearings
When the storm is blowin'

We know this shadow land is only temporary
These light afflictions work a great eternal glory

We walk by faith, not by sight
Strengthened by His glorious might
Walk by faith, not by sight
Heading for that land of light
Walk by faith and not by sight

Sometimes we ain't so sure
He sees us when we're kneelin'
Sometimes we forget salvation ain't a feelin'
We know that Jesus died for our justification
We grow in His image by suffering tribulations

Hold fast your confidence
You've got an invitation
To meet Him in the air
at His revelation

    We know this shadow land is only temporary

    We walk by faith, not by sight
    Strengthened by His glorious might
    Walk by faith, not by sight

    Walk by faith and not by sight

    O.... ....

    May I add 1Thess 4: 16-17.

  7. L.... M....

    I feel so much conviction every time I listen to Petra. I'm so lost.

    L.... M....

    Pray about it, bro... then, open your mind to what/where God be leading you to get hooked up with the LIVING "NOW" JESUS CHRIST! (First, ya gotta believe (or work on believing) THAT IT'S POSSIBLE. . . FOR YOU, TOO!

    L.... M....

    Talk to Jesus he's there your more precious than silver and gold to jesus

  8. Y.... H....

    My dad had the Godpleaser single on tape & I loved it so much I asked a friend of mine who worked on radio to send me a copy of 4 songs from this album which was the only petra material they had.. The quality was terrible, so I tried to restore it using cool edit, lol... Must have listened to this 100's of times.. Since then I've gotten the captured dvd & the farewell.. Love Petra

  9. D.... W....

    Thank you, Master, for Petra. Thank you for feeding me Your Word through their songs. I hope, when we stand in glory, I'll be near enough to these men to sing along with them again in praise of You.

    D.... W....

    Agreed.

    D.... W....

    amen bro

    D.... W....

    I can picture "it is finished " being played as Christ returns with his sword drawn ready to destroy his enemies once and for all!

  10. M.... ....

    I really wish you'd make this available to listen on my phone.

  11. J.... E....

    I know I'm way late to the conversation here, hope everyone is still checking in. Forget CCM and K-LOVE. I downloaded I Heart Radio and did a search for Jehrico by DeGarmo & Key. It came up, and I created a station for it. It plays D&K, Mylon Lefevre, Bryan Duncan, Rez Band, Whiteheart, White Cross... and yes, PETRA! All the great 80s Christian Rock classics. Now my soul is once again being fed by the music I was getting fed with in my teen years.

    J.... E....

    James Edgar I did the same with Pandora radio. But mine includes seventies stuff like Larry Norman and nineties stuff like newsboys too.

    J.... E....

    I'm not familiar with the other bands, but I will try them out. I'm always looking for good music. Thanks for the list!

    J.... E....

    tjstraw1 newsboys is still around but in my opinion they were better in the nineties. My favorite album of theirs is " take me to your leader"

  12. E.... T....

    Totally agree, todays Christian rock cant match the amount of gospel Petra had in their songs

  13. R.... E....

    THE LORD IS ON HIS WAY, LIIK UP GRT READY.

  14. R.... ....

    I know SO much Scripture because of my exposure to these songs as a kid. Wow. The theology in these songs is so amazing. Puts some of the music today to shame.

  15. L.... ....

    I know!!! I Think they should do a oldies day at LEAST once a month!!!

    L.... ....

    K-LOVE wouldn't, unless it was of the "Jesus Is My Boyfriend" variety. Which is a mindset that I don't think Petra *ever* had, praise God.

  16. i.... ....

    cjurasin-I take it yuor near reno,mywife likes klove I favor knis91.3 iagree. About with about the music I don't those chicks.songs who sound like jesus is boyfriend lol its like homer simpson said 'rock'n'nroll reached its peak in the summer of '74 its a scientific fact!

  17. i.... ....

    @barefootradio... the singer for the early petra .(including this album), was Greg X Volz. John Schlitt replaced him later.. i believe in 1986ish This Means War album?

    i.... ....

    John came in on "back to the street"...the album before "this means war"

  18. T.... ....

    Frankly I don't know the singer's name, but I listened to Petra since I was a kid, and this guy has incredible pipes. His range is amazing. I've heard few singers with such skill. I'd compare him to Ronnie James Dio!

  19. a.... ....

    @CJurasin I've often thought the same thing. Is it that the DJs, station managers, etc., are young and unfamiliar with the classics? Or is K-LOVE beholden to play only whats on a limited playlist?

  20. t.... ....

    louder!

  21. b.... ....

    Brings back some great memories of my college football days, working out to Petra's "not of this world" tape (early '80s); the inspiration I received to "walk by faith" knowing that if we "occupy" and "lift Him up" we will not be ashamed when we stand before Him at the "bema seat". Blessings and thank you "unknown PetraFan" for your labor of love for the Body of Christ

  22. m.... ....

    thanks for posting.. I love Petra

  23. t.... ....

    2 Corinthians - Chapter 5

    @jimmmmie
    you said it, bro. i always preferred greg x's vocals. it meshed so well with the music. bob and kerry of kansas had such a similar tone and attack in there guitars, you can hear the influence. petra was indeed an anointed band. that oil of consecration still rings true today

  25. K.... G....

    These albums shaped me for life after I became a christian in 1985, I used to jam my Steinberger bass to all these songs just by ear.
    Now seeing these on youtube has me jammin again, much to my wife and daughter's amusement. Me and wife are christians and daughter is being led as well.

    Continue to pray for us to continue the good walk.

  27. l.... ....

  28. P.... B....

    One of their best albums to date
