I remember Petra wasn't banned back in the 80s at a church I went to, but they were generally frowned upon and viewed with suspicion. When Petra Praise was released church elders finally started coming around.
*Without a doubt, one of Petra's all time best!* This thirsting within my soul Won't cease til I've been made whole To know you, to walk with you To please you in all I do You uphold the righteous and your faithfulness shall endure Adonai, Master of the earth and sky You alone are worthy, Adonai Adonai, let creation testify Let your majesty be magnified in me Adonai, you are an endless mystery Unchanging consuming fire Lift me up from mud and mire Set my feet upon your rock, let me dwell in your righteousness When the storms surround me, speak the word and they will be still And this thirst and hunger is a longing only you can fill
Petra gave me what I needed as a new Christian in 1985..I still listen to them all the time. And do hope that they will reunite some day, but I Know the guys are older now, and being an ex-performer, understand what energy it requires..May all who find Petra as new Christians enjoy and be Blessed!
I love this song! There was great Christian music in the 70's, 80's, 90's. I haven't bought any Christian music since than. I don't care today's Christian music.
I'm not super religious anymore but my mom introduced me to this album when I was a little kid and loved it, I randomly remembered it and now I've just listened to the whole thing at 17 years old now
As a bit of a late bloomer my first exposure to Rock was Petra. I was a loner but music got me through. Now again with all the toxic politics of the world I am alone again. How I wish we all could get back to the 80’s. We gotta love one another. Despite political affiliation.
Petra is most definitely the most awesome Christian rock group of all time! This song is a classic and one of my favorites along with so many others! Thanks for posting it.
Yeah. Petra defines Christain Music as a whole in the same way how Micheal Jackson defined Pop music. So, consiter Petra the Micheal Jackson/ The Beatles of Christain Music.
For years, one of the local Cincinnati news channels (WCPO, I think) used the opening instrumental riff of "Adonai" as their bumper music for all weekend high school sports reporting. I always thought that it was cool that someone at the channel was "sneaking" Christian music into the broadcast. ;-)
I listened to Petra when i was a missionary in Osaka, Japan from 1991 to 1998. They were awesome!!! Not every day you find a Christian rock band that really rocks like this for the Lord Jesus Christ
my first taste of Petra was listening to More Power To Ya, what a powerful first song! I loved Petra I hated to see them retire, I will miss them alot, but I own most every album they made lol
In South Bend they sold out a Friday night concert right away so they added a 9 PM concert to the 7 PM. I watched this man do four hours of singing with barely any signs of weariness.
This is one of my all time favorites by Petra. I saw them at the Irvine Meadows (Verizon Amphitheater) in 1985 when I was just a kid, then. This song still speaks to my heart.
Petra is an amazing band! They will always be my favorite that I come back to listening often and know all of the lyrics to the songs. Except for their newer stuff. I like mostly their albums 1974-1998 and Jekyll & Hyde.
never give up and never give in. your past, you are the only one who cannot let it define you now. god can change the heart of someone over night, or in an instance. we may be the only Bible that people will ever see too know God. adoni- my daddy

🤔 Wait, what??! Me, bumping into this version just today, like who's making an modern variant of this song, and sounding so Volz??!! 😂🤣 Grew up without christian music at home. There you go. Discovering bit by bit, because of YT, all the yummi stuff I did'nt know about back, then, like Petra Classic. But, oh, my God, what high quality performers You put on stage, for Your glory... 🙌
Easily looked up on google. Type in "meaning of adonai." first website to appear says: Adon means, steward administrator, master, or Lord. The addition of ai to adon intensifies or elevates its meaning, changing it to mean the ultimate Lord, the Supreme Lord, or Lord of all.
This song touches from it's soul to mine. I don't know a single that is being said but I know in my heart what she's saying. Too many people are dying and for what? For What? Power and Money. These have become the most important to us. We are all guilty. It has to stop or there won't be a world to live in.
I am trying to get my heart back to Jesus pray this happens. After being away feels like a huge fight to get back into the fold (with flesh) spiritually. Thanks for the prayers!
Back in the 80s christians boycotted this band. Funny. Now we wish our kids listened to Petra. Thank You Adonai
Exactly 👍 .. 2019 still Petra strong 💪😎
Is it true? Boycott to Petra? Why? I´m catholic and heard 1990 about the band by baptist young guys and "free Churches" people
I remember Petra wasn't banned back in the 80s at a church I went to, but they were generally frowned upon and viewed with suspicion. When Petra Praise was released church elders finally started coming around.
Petra is my favorite band and I’m a teenager. Sometimes I wish my friends would listen to Petra with me!
@@pazuzu9495 yeah alot of Christian people in the 80s thought all rock music was evil. Satanic panic is what it's come to be known as
64 years old and tears coming to my eyes!
Its cause you love Him.
Over 3 decades later, I still go to Petra for uplifting Christian 🎶music!🎉 God gave us rock n roll😊. Thank you Adonai for these gifts
*Without a doubt, one of Petra's all time best!*
This thirsting within my soul
Won't cease til I've been made whole
To know you, to walk with you
To please you in all I do
You uphold the righteous and your faithfulness shall endure
Adonai, Master of the earth and sky
You alone are worthy, Adonai
Adonai, let creation testify
Let your majesty be magnified in me
Adonai, you are an endless mystery
Unchanging consuming fire
Lift me up from mud and mire
Set my feet upon your rock, let me dwell in your righteousness
When the storms surround me, speak the word and they will be still
And this thirst and hunger is a longing only you can fill

I love This prayse
as a gen z child, i am blessed to have christian parents who introduced me to this song
Me too 🥰
I'm not super religious anymore but my mom introduced me to this album when I was a little kid and loved it, I randomly remembered it and now I've just listened to the whole thing at 17 years old now
Adonai, master of the Earth and sky. You alone are worthy, Adonai. What a powerful song. One of my favs.!!
Mine too! Always get goose bumps listening to it. Lifts my heart and inspires me to worship!
Don Spicer same

Paul Meier dude you forgot bloodgood
I HAVE MISSED MUCH OF THE CHRISTIAN ROCK FROM THE 70's AND 80's. GLAD HE LED ME TO FIND THIS AGAIN
Greg X Volzs voice was at its peak in this song around 1985, just like Djokovic in tennis, couldnt be beaten
This song makes me feel like I am flying away to heaven, leaving the earth behind me!
Lol I know
Hard Rock Worship. He is holy! Magnify His name!
I hate to break it to you, but Petra is not hard rock, they remind me more of easy listening praise. I still really like this band!
I love that Petras songs are lyrically deep! You can visualize what they are singing
SO MANY awesome memories of the time I met God!! Dancing to this song at FULL BLAST!! Wooo hoooo!!
Beautiful song brother beautiful music.God bless you abundantly 😊😊😊
Love this song.

Yeah right
I love you Petra.
Brings me back to my youth. Bristol Assemble of God

Praise God for Great Christian music!
Such a powerful song that moves me deeply. My fav from Petra. "Adonai you are an endless mystery." ☝ 🕊

One of my favorite Petra songs. Great to sing along in the car while driving.
Hartman's a powerful song writer
One of Petra's best praise songs in my oppinion. Love this band.
Me too! I think every album they did has that one song that was just a cut above the rest. I think in beat the system this was the one.
@@CodeRed-md3ny this and it is finished. I really like clean though

Greg X Voltz the ultimate singer.
yessir! AMAZING pipes on Greg X. Volz indeed!
I wish he had never left Petra
Incredible 4 octave range.
@@JordanTheGreat09 no doute about it
In South Bend they sold out a Friday night concert right away so they added a 9 PM concert to the 7 PM. I watched this man do four hours of singing with barely any signs of weariness.
Great song to worship with. If only i could sing in tune.😅
For all of their Jesus Jumping accolades, this title and song really makes up for their devotion.
I worship my Father in heaven singing this song!
I can feel this song. This is GREAT
I LOVE PETRA !!!
Man, I would definitely like to play this in the worship band at church…
What's stopping you! ❤
One of my all time favourite Petra songs, was the last song on the record & always left me wanting more, so I'd play the whole album again!! :)
Praise God
Jesus came down and spoke your name! We are loved, but maybe more importantly we are Known. Abba Father
Awesome music love Petra Christian music cool
When He was on the Cross, we were on His mind
Adonai my Daddy, I Love You so much.
Adonai...you're worthy...Master of earth, wind & sky...Thanx for all !!
PETRA RULES!THE ABSOLUTE BEST!
Fell in love with this entire album at age 11, back then it was a cassette tape. purchased the CD several years ago and i'm still loving it.
Adonai... una excelente cancion, con profunda letra: Verdad y realidad!!!
This is one of my all time favorites by Petra. I saw them at the Irvine Meadows (Verizon Amphitheater) in 1985 when I was just a kid, then. This song still speaks to my heart.
Yea, it's really uplifting!
Genesis 1:1 - without that NOTHING makes sense!
Shalom to ya all !!!
Love this song too, reminds me teenage years !
Let's not forget Greg's awesome vocals!
Loved this as a teen. Now an atheist but the song is still a banger.
Ah yes a time when there was some GOOD music
10-4. Dittos. Amen :-)
10-4. Dittos. Amen :-)
Yep this new Christian rock sucks
unbelievable. The best definition of Petra's music is unwavering power., unleashed via conviction.
My favorite Petra song ever. Always uplifts me to hear it.
Such superb lyrics...the Godly, Biblical legacy of Petra.
Sons of Abraham RT yup
And this thirst and hunger is a longing only You can fill.
Set my feet upon the old Rock, Let Me dwell in Your Righteousness,You alone are Worthy.... Adonai!!
Petra is the greatest of all times. There raw God Given talent lets me know that there is a God and He loves us all.
I just want to say 🔥
Thank you for posting this, I'm a big Petra fan. Thank God for Petra's ministry over the years
I would love to know just how many times I've listened to this album. It has never lost impact on me!
God Shall Live for ever with us in eternity!

Just heard that they are coming back ... classic Petra with Greg as the lead vocalist again ... I love it ... I always preferred Greg ...
Everyday a beautiful way to praise our lord Jesus Christ and our God in Heaven
set my feet apon your Rock let me drown in your Righteousness
Possibly the hardest song to sing along to in the history of pop rock music
falsetto??
@@johnappleseed8369 That's also there but Greg Volz uses his original voice to hit those high notes
This song touches from it's soul to mine. I don't know a single that is being said but I know in my heart what she's saying. Too many people are dying and for what? For What? Power and Money.

This my classic rock.
Thank you for uplifting sound.
Fazia anos que eu queria ouvir essa musica. Voltei ao passado agora.
This is one album I don't have. I'll have to change that.
This music reflects the sound of the late-80's and the spirituality of the Charismatic movement of the earlier decade.
late 80's? lol. I take it you weren't there.
aleluya!! my happy listen this music!!
This band is awesome for got thay were christan and just found them again because of the effort radio station playing the old school Christan songs
By far the greatest Petra song of all time, and this album is the greatest Petra album ever. Greg X Volz was the best vocalist they ever had.
