Del Album: More Power To Ya (1982), por Petra.

I wonder how it makes you feel when the prodigal won't come home
I wonder how it makes you feel when he'd rather be on his own
I wonder what it's like for you when a lamb has gone astray
I wonder what it's like for you when your children disobey
(Coro)
It must be like another thorn struck in your brow
It must be like another close friend's broken vow
It must be like another nail right through your wrist
It must be just like
Just like Judas' kiss
I wonder how it makes you feel when no one seeks your face
I wonder how it makes you feel when they give up in the race
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly disobey
I wonder what it's like for you when they willingly walk away

"El Beso De Judas"
Me pregunto como te sientes cuando el hijo prodigo no vuelve a casa.
Me pregunto que sientes cuando él prefiere seguir su camino.
Me pregunto como te sientes cuando una oveja se pierde.
Me pregunto que sientes cuando tus hijos no te obedecen.
(Coro)
Debe ser como si otra espina se clavara en tu frente.
Debe ser como si otro amigo intimo te entregará.
Debe ser como si otro clavo se incrustara en tu muñeca.
Debe ser como... otro beso de Judas.
Me pregunto como te sientes cuando nadie busca tu rostro.
Me pregunto que sientes cuando abandonan la carrera.
Me pregunto que sientes cuando te desobedecen voluntariamente.
Me pregunto como te sientes cuando se alejan de ti porque quieren. - Hudba
Greg Volz sang this song at our church this morning. Our pastor is good friends with him and he sang about ten songs.He still is eneretic and fun even at 60.I'm so glad PETRA is getting back together! I am a huge fan,and I'm only 17. My mom's an even bigger fan,lol.
You still a fan?
What I like about Petra was the ability to stand above all the other christians bands and raise the bar in terms of experimenting and producing very classic rock along with other acts, it seems most christian bands nowadays lack any character or weight within their compositions, and they tend to follow the bandwagon, as to Petra, they stood out with their own sound
Stryper even more so
Yeah Petra Is The Best Christian Band Ever!
People don't realize that Petra, influenced countless bands. And led a majority of the Band KANSAS to Jesus.
@@joshuaansley1361 Amen yes they did!!
Petra was a leader in the early 80s when I seen them in junior high it was awesome.
The beginning is recorded in reverse. It says " Why are you looking for the Devil , when you should be looking for the Lord."
It's a pretty clever response to the back masking thing XD
I remember back in the day so many songs were said to be backwards messages for the devil. Especially groups like AC/DC, Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, etc.
MusketeerinFlorida kinda...but when you consider backwards speech was a satanic form of communication..or at least something Aleister Crowley endorsed...it really shouldn't have been used on a Christian record. If it was a gimmick it was a gimmick they should have steered clear of.
you don't know...do you?
Yea, I knew something was sead backwards, Thanks!
still listening!
Still!
this song is nice. that guitar is good.this is the best christian band ever. i mean anything in christian music..this is the best
Yeah we had enough of Hillsong and their New Age hypnotic heretical music. This song has an edge.
I was blessed with tickets 3xs to see Petra during my teenage years, what I will remember always remember is the alter calls and how the Holy Spirit moved on the hearts of so many . They had counselors, pastor's, Sunday school teachers from area churches ready to help people. They themselves were helping people, it was so beautiful. In those concerts many people called upon the Lord as savior. Those were the 3 best new years eve's I've ever had. They eat share verses and it was just awesome.. Then we'd rock 😁
Awesome days in America! How the post modern occultic western church has sadly fallen!
I've been listening to rock music by the greatest guitar players for 42 years. I still haven't heard any guitar solo with quite as much "stank" as 2:57 - 3:18. That high note is sonic perfection.
RIGHT!?!?! Its on another Level... The funk groove and The SOLO?!?!? I am a Very Strong Guitarist, My friend asked what I thought of this... I just lost it listening to it... Bob Hartman is on another level WAY UNDERRATED
@@raindeerprojekt4119he's incredible. The notes in the solo and the TONE just blow smy mind. Made the guitar wail like a person in mourning. I can't describe it.
You know, I just revisited this song. This time I am truly hearing the depth of these lyrics. Amazing. The words hit me deeply during this season of my life. Funny. I don’t even hear the music as I had always focused on. When our acts are self-indulged led, it must be “just like Judas’s kiss.” Wow! So so true for this 40 year old Believer.😔
More Power To Ya the best CD of Petra.
When I first heard this song in 1999, I was stupefied, it was strange, dark, with a medieval, renaissance, strange, but at the same time powerful, and with wonderful lyrics, and I do not know why it could not stop to listen to it again and again. His guitar riff, that background harmonium, transported me to another side, and it turned out to be a dark song that led me to think about what the lyrics finally said, the betrayal, the disillusionment, "I wonder how ...". the many great songs of Petra without doubts.
Another great song from Petra. God reaches me through their music ministry. God bless Petra and God bless His children!
My dad introduced me to Petra, I'm about 15. My dad was saved during the 80s and told me how much this music spoke to him, I'm so grateful he introduced me to this incredible music. God has really been speaking to me through this!
That is awesome to hear young man this song right here was my very first song that I ever heard as a Christian song and I didn't even know it was a Christian song the first time I heard it and then my dad told me that it was a Christian song he was the one that sent me the cassette because he's a Christian musician also. He travels all over the US plan events and shows and stuff like God bless you young man and enjoy your life with Christ
"...Just Like Judas Kiss!!!'
I'm Brazilian,but I love this music.It's LEGENDARY
I agree, the best in my opinion.
HOLA Nadal. God is Sovereign over ALL the Creation which includes all the Nations that will soon be swept into the dustbin/🗑️ container of History...(Colossians...Matthew 28...Genesis 1:1...Ephesians 3:10)
Petra came to my little home town of Hobbs, New Mexico in 1978 and played at my church youth center. They inspired me to play guitar. After the show, I asked one of them what kind of guitar style it was when he moved his fingers so fast, and he told me it was lead guitar. And the rest is history. I purchased a $20 used electric guitar from a pawn shop and learned guitar on my own. Played guitar for my high school jazz band and my own rock band for our school talent show. Great memories!
I went to so many Petra Concerts loved them all
How is a song, pushing 30, STILL inspiring debate? OUTSTANDING. PTL.
Because it has universal appeal to anyone who's tried to be a Christian.
PTL, LOL
Never underestimate the sheer degeneracy of the CZcams comments section.
got into them in the early 80's totaly be mistake because i picked up a cassette that someone throw out beside the road been a fan ever sence
Their loss, your gain!
Man, i love this song, but my favorite thing to do is listen to the first part on vinyl and play it backwards. "What are you looking for the devil for, when you outta be looking for the Lord." THUMBS UP PETRA! love you guys soooo much!
I prayed and asked the Lord what are they saying at the beginning of the song? My new tape and cassette player flipped the song and I heard "why are you searching for satan when you should be searching for the Lord!! " I broke down and cried!! Thank you, Lord, for letting me hear this! Kristen Rivera
Record I get I spun it backwards...how you do that to a tape
@@scottcook2568 i prayed and it was all from the Lord answering my prayer!! The Lord flipped the tape!
These guys have depth in their lyrical content.
We all have given Jesus a Judas' kiss in our life time.
Sad but true Floyd.
Hail Satan! Judas be my guide!
yes heap on the guilt that always helps.... lol
I love that Guitar solo, im learning the Guitar right now this guys an insperation. Gods my number one insperatiom though.
Got to see them play this live tonight - 10/18/2020
Must have been amazing
One of the best songs ever of all genres!
This is Petra's "Stairway to Heaven"
If they are known for ANY song, this is the one they will be remembered all-time for
+Edward Hutchinson
I hope they / we are remembered also for Coloring Song, Grave Robber, Not of This World, Stand Up, Second Wind, Bema Seat, etc.
+J Slick and many, many others. They deserved to be worldwide phenoms
@@jslick4589 Well I just went and listened to Grave Robber, and let me tell u I hadn't heard any of these songs in around 25 years. They bring back wonderful memories of my father, a gifted guitarist and man of God, used to jam all day on these songs. If this is your work then THANK YOU. Bout to listen to all the hits u named.
Because of the Backmasking.
Personally, I always found Grave Robber their "Stairway To Heaven."
There's something about this song that really hits you....
The beginning is backwards masking of, "Why are you looking for the devil, when you ought to be looking for the Lord."
Yes, I personally played my album backwards by finger to hear it myself.
they put it there because people were playing albums backwards to see if it said anything
Uh Never Heard That Before ...
What's an album? Lolol psych!
Yep! I did it, too. It was the clearest backward message one could ever hear.
I prayed and asked the Lord what were they saying at the beginning of this song. Well, in my new cassette player in my car this song started playing. The cassette some how flipped to the other side and it said "why are you searching for satan when you should be searching for the Lord" !! I started crying and thanking the Lord for showing this to me in such a cool way!! Amen! Kristen Rivera
thanks i needed the laugh that is great cameleon is so powerful the lyrics i love
Christopher Rivera Hmmm! Yeah, right!
+A B It's the power of prayer
Very cool. And it's awesome that they put that backwards message in there cuz I can imagine that some were accusing Petra of secretly worshipping satan (with a small "s" on purpose just for disrespect) like some of their secular rock counterparts. What a cool memory u shared!
At the time, the Peters Brothers had put out a book on backwards masking (Rock's Hidden Persuader) and secret demonic messages in secular music. It was a huge fixation in my church, everyone was talking about backwards masking on Queen, Beatles, Ozzy, etc. Petra gave a simple grace filled, truth filled, one sentence backwards masked answer! Just like our Jesus! This cut through all the hype and pointed us the right way.
I'm not remotely a Christian, but I've gotta say, this song kinda rocks.
Geo X Christ loves you I have found that out for myself in my life I thought the same thing you thought for thirty years
Read Romans 8 first!! Then decide what is real !! Trust me! God is real for sure!! Just try that...
Roman's 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
So many great groups out there!! X-Sinner,WhiteCross.Whiteheart,Shout,Mastedon,Magdallan,REZ band...Stryper,King's X..David Zaffiro..Ken Tamplin.Rock on man!!
Sorry, people, but quoting verses from the Bible does not prove that anything in the Bible happened or is true. I was a Petra fan in a Christian for 40 years and now I am an atheist. Quoting a religious book does not help. Go look up numbers 13 where God orders abortion. I've never heard anyone quote that.
This is a Petra Classic! One of the best songs they ever did! Petra paved the way for alot of the artists today, and most of them grew up listening to Petra. Hats off to the greatest Christain rock band ever!
This.song is a.light upon my feet.when first saved, love these.guys forever blessed
I remember hearing that nobb Bob Larson casting demons out of people who are mentally ill, not demon possessed, claiming that the backwards recording was a praised to Satan and that Petra always sacrificed small animals before playing. What a loon. Great song, I heard that Paul Stanley of Kiss said he really enjoyed Petra's music especially this album. Kiss did the song God gave rock and roll to you. Amazing.
This song has the coolest guitar riff I have ever heard . . and I have heard lots of them.
I agree, the best riff ever!
Lord forgive me for all the times I have given you the Judas Kiss, I am thankful for your blessings and you as my redeemer and saviour.
this is one of my favorite songs of this band! Petra is amazing!
Massive Respect; The fact these cats could 'replicate this track 'live' is a feat in itself, ie Captured in Time and Space. Once again Massive Respect.
Scary but truthful lyrics. The kind that causes Christian people to search their own souls.
I have have always LOVED the way Petra uses the Guitar on their ALBUMS. I first listened to them in the 80's wonderful message in a musical way to a young heart in need of the LORDS message.
Always loved that guitar riff. And prolly my favorite album artwork too
Holy crap.. I was 10 when I got into Xtian rock and metal! Lol! Makes perfect sense. My dad was a Santana, Styx, Airplane fan when I was much younger.
Not a Xtian anymore, but this is a great flashback!
Once saved always saved. You may not walk close to Jesus, but He never forsakes us
Once saved always saved? That's a lie. Not scriptural. Repent you 🤡 God said that in days of old he winked at sin, now he commands men everywhere to repent. It's the gift of tears. You can be secure in your salvation, but you gotta finish the race. Faith without works is dead. Show me your faith, I will show you my works. Better watch and pray. Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Don't let them fool you. You gotta die to live. Die to yourself, better get busy...read the whole word of God.
And it’s CHRISTian
Thank you! We need to see those cammos again!
Favorite subtle tidbits:
Descending line in synth, min 7th, maj 6, aug 5th, 5th starting 2:03.
Growling bent geetar lick 2:28, 3:31. Glad Bob only played it that way a couple of times, else it would have lost the surprise.
Timed delay on geetar solo intro: 2:57.
The two-part counterpoint at 4:13.
J Slick
Besides all the complex and heavy guitar work throughout, I always liked the harmonious almost ominous sounding synth chords starting at 1:29. I think this was the first modern Christian Rock Music song that I ever heard back when I was at summer camp as a teen in 1983. I was raised conservatively and had never heard any song made by Christian musicians that featured a heavy rock music sound until I heard this, but after being a little bit scared at first that this sound was a bit "too much" for a Christian to like, I liked it, and the very first rock music album that I bought was Not Of This World by Petra (Store was out of More Power To Ya, but I got that one later). Nowadays I'm a big synth/industrial/goth music fan and a hacker at synths/guitars/bass/programming.
I thought the richocheting echo effect at 3:47 was really a cool surprise..giving it a bit of an eerie touch late in the song. Powerful song !
@@rivotrich7 I am J Slick. Thank you for noticing the "ominous" chords... merely open 5th's played 1/2 step apart, ending with open 4th 1 step apart. Wish that J. D. Brown had goosed it more in the mix or doubled on B3. Those old synth patches were not very punchy.
So great
Thank you 💞
Love this song..love the words and music🎶
The best Petra song of them all and there are many
God, I will never know how much I hurt You!
Still one of my favorites!
This is one of my all time fave Petra tunes... I remember it from when I was a teenager and I had this album. Now that I'm a parent and have experienced betrayal this song takes on new meaning. It really hits home.
Saw them in concert in 1983
I saw them i think in the same year beyond belief came out. Awesome show.
Excellent song from a fantastic album.
@gingervytis : Hey, my brother and I figured that out in the late 80's - we had this little keyboard that you could record yourself, play it back, even reverse it. We did it for this song intro, and that is what it says. I first heard these Petra albums on records, later cassettes and now CD's (and imported to AAC/WMA/MP3). Great music with great message, and Greg X. Volz has amazing range. Thanks for uploading it.
One of my favorite Petra songs.
I seem to remember the back masking section saying,"What are you looking for the devil for, when you oughta be looking for the Lord?" Musta been in the liner notes as I wore this tape out as a kid! Greg X rocks!
Petra is a cool group from my time. they never get 👵
That is so cool, I went to a concert, probably around the same time, they came to Barrington College in Rhode Island. Randy Matthews was there too. The first Christian concert I'd ever been to. then years later, I saw them in Tulsa. Great music, great ministry! I still have two vinyls, which I still listen to! Never did pick up the guitar though, but good for you!
Such a powerful song!
yep
I love this song.
Been listening to it my whole life
I have to say thank you for making such good music that always lifted my spirits
I would love to hear this remixed and the bass has more power to really raise the tempo and set a firm bottom to this tune; it has so much strength to really provide depth.
Here you go. czcams.com/video/p1y1fPHw9wQ/video.html
Lives here in Nashville
This reminds me of those '80's BIG boom boxes we used to carry on our shoulders to blast everybody off the map, not to mention perforate our own eardrums LOL!!!
It's been a while since hearing this, TY
Wow, thanks for the memories!!! Such a sweet compilation. :) woot
This is the video of the day for Aug. 3, 2013 on Rockandroll Bible on Facebook. thanks for sharing it.
Such an awesome intro
@joyfilledsoul Very convicting! It really puts you in Jesus shoes, how he feels when we sin!
as the original net evangelist, i've always approved of this message. Petra nailed it on so many.
Awesome! 👊
I remember playing this lick on my guitar before services at church... Nice to remember my first love with God
What's the opening chord? It sounds like two strings.
@@frederickherrmann9719 press first and second string on the third fret at the same time with staccato
"Their rock is not as our Rock"! Praise You, Jesus!
She just fired me .. definitely just like judus kiss . I gave everything .. we were friends.. and now .. I praise the Lord for what I see.. I bless those who cursed me.. thank you Jesus
wow!
THIS is my jam
LOVE PETRA FORERUNNER CHRISTIAN ROCK 🔥
This was the first Christian rock song I ever heard.
I prefer this version.
I had a lot of problems growing up, ultra-right-wing family being one of many. It was so comforting to be able to bang my head to this when no one else was around. I always wished I could play like this. I'm glad for Petra being there, and Greg X Vols. It doesn't matter, soft ballads or kick-butt metal, Petra had it going on.
Why do most Christian rock bands suck? Petra, and this song particularly, proves that good, fairly-heavy music can be good and heavily religious at the same time. Not even religious myself, but this song is a solid rocker.
Also, the synth melody after the chorus is incredible. Love the weird, kinda medieval/renaissance harmony there.
Jimmy Mimpson Agreed! I was 5 when I first heard this in the mid-90s. My parents introduced me to this song. I remembered the chorus 20 years later and found it!
+Jimmy Mimpson
>"Also, the synth melody after the chorus is incredible. Love the weird, kinda medieval/renaissance harmony there."
Thanks for noticing!
I put a lot of classically-influenced keyboard stuff into the recordings I played on, but the producer buried most of it in the mix. That chordal motif after the chorus, like at 3:47, is a combination of fifths in both hands. It starts with notes d, a, b-flat, f and proceeds down. The ending counterpoint is based on 18th century counterpoint of J.S. Bach.
The backward voice at the start is me. Play it backwards to decode.
If you ever listen to the song, More Power To Ya, you will find buried in mix and running throughout the length of the bridge, the entire Doxology which fit just perfectly over the chord changes. That tune is from 1674 by Thomas
Ken, a priest in the Church of England. The words are “Praise
God, from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.”
agreed entirely
+Jimmy Mimpson Right on friend. I'm not a christian but I hear what you hear. that Bark like/ medieval harmony and the rest of it. There are a lot of great Christian bands.
+Jimmy Mimpson The production level of all CCM at the time was very very low, every band that wore that CCM banner in the late 70's and throughout the 80s had very poor production in studio recordings. The only Christian band in those times that had great production was Stryper, mainly because the label they were signed to was not a Christian label.
Right on Mr. 1indianasmith. Preach it brother.
petra was such a cool band....
I will check that out, gracia.
the bestttttt
I used to listen to these guys and Stryper when I was in high school.
one of my BC leaders at "pavillion of promise" EXPO 86 did THE best street drama to this incredilbly awesome "PETRA" song from the 80's. it was my fave. back then. bruxy cavey, who grew up in my times, the very same way as me. lest we forget man... cherished! many, many people don't know this but for sure our "heavenly Father does!" that's all i care about. todd gale from LIFE 100.3 knows PETRA better than i do. we are amogst the most privilidged that you can get. WOW
If this song does not convict a person about sin, I feel there's no hope for them.
love it love it love it love it love it love it love it love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see you also went down the metaphorical root, fellow searcher. No sheep in the sky here!
@champ41289 The beginning of the song is backmasking for the phrase "What are you looking for the devil for when you ought to be looking for the Lord"
My sister and i grow up on Petra
There's a lot of Judas these days 😢 I can't believe it
Does anyone else know what the backward masking says at the very beginning? Did you know it was there? "What are you looking for the devil when you should be looking for the Lord"
É com grande prazer que me inscrevo nesse canal.
Thank you brothers I miss yall rocking in the astro world in houston Texas. Please pray they rebuild a six flags theme park in Houston Texas again. So you all can rock our socks off again.pease out
I used to think the Intro was some mediterranean/ Jewish language, lol.. especially the 'Nicolino' part... Awesome riff, solo, & classical outtro,
JESUS ROCKS!!!
Petra used backmasking at the beginning of this song. The backmasking says, "What are you looking for the Devil for, when you ought to be looking for the Lord?"
@champ41289 Hey man! Yes he did that in his keyboard solo with a synthesizer sampler. you should be able to find it by looking for "Petra Jesus Loves You"
That's one killer riff.
