So many voices telling me which way to go
So many choices come from those who think they know
There's a way that seems right to a man
But it only brings him death
I wanna go the way that leads to life
Till I draw my dying breath
(Coro)
Don't wanna be a manpleaser - I wanna be a Godpleaser
I just want to have the wisdom to discern the two apart
Don't wanna be a manpleaser - I wanna be a Godpleaser
I just want to do the things that please the Father's heart
Some make a sacrifice and never let it show
Some make a point of letting everybody know
Some will live their lives as unto men
And they have their reward
I just wanna do everything I do
With all my heart unto the Lord
I just want my life to glorify His Son
To make my Father proud that I'm His child before I'm done
No need to pat me on the back or stop the shake my hand
I just want to hear my Father say "Well done, well done"
I just want to hear my Father say "Well done"

"Agradable A Dios"
Tantas veces me dicen a donde ir,
tantas opciones me dan los que creen saber.
(Hay un) camino que al hombre le parece recto,
(Pero) solo lleva a la destrucción.
(Quiero seguir) el camino que lleva a la vida
(hasta dar) mi ultimo aliento.
Coro:
No quiero agradar a los hombres, quiero ser agradable a Dios.
Solo quiero tener sabiduría para discernir entre los dos.
No quiero agradar a los hombres, quiero agradar a Dios.
Solo quiero hacer las cosas que agradan al corazón de Dios.
Algunos hacen un sacrificio y no lo muestran jamás.
Otros se aseguran de que todos lo vean.
(Algunos) viven su vida para los hombres,
y ya tienen su recompensa.
(Yo solo) quiero hacer todo lo que hago
(de todo corazón), para el Señor.
Solo quiero que mi vida glorifique a su Hijo.
Que mi Padre este orgulloso de que yo sea su hijo antes del final.
No es necesario que me palmeen la espalda o que me den la mano.
Solo quiero oír a mi Padre decir: "Bien, buen siervo y fiel".
Solo quiero oír a mi Padre decir: "Bien, buen siervo y fiel". - Hudba

This is one of my favorite songs when I was a baby in the Lord, it still touches my heart.
I wana be I wana be a God pleaser!!!! :)
I wana hear my Father say,"Well done, well done!" I wana hear my Father say,"Well done!"
Awesome song...while blasting Petra when I was a baby I heard God speak audibly to me and tell me He loves me, WOW, I will never forget that, I was shocked and amazed!!! God is so awesome!!! And can talk really loud LOL, well it was soft and gentle but heard above Petra, wow!
Still love this song after all the stuff that's gone on. I'm going on 41 and of all of Petra's songs, this one still stands out for me. Oo-rah. To ashes. Amen.
I'm 75 and in a battle now with our own kids over what truth looks like. Still a God pleaser.
This is probably one of my favorite all time Petra songs, but in 2012 I took my daughters to see Classic Petra in Des Moines and they were absolutely shocked to see that they can still rock, BUT, when they sang this song my daughter, who was 11 at at the time, was singing at the top of her lungs all the way home in the car: "Don't want to be a man preserve, just want to be a God preserve..." I think I about wrecked the car...I have to say that every time I listen to this song now I find myself replacing "God pleaser" with "God preserve".
Awesome story! Greetings from Iowa
Geez.....I almost made it.... 50 more years I could of gone without reading this...buuut noooow ...all I hear is God preserve man preserve....hahahahahahaha.........cheers
I agree, first time I heard it it struck a chord deep within my soul & is a regular part of my Worship in thanks & gratitude to the King of All The Earth!!!
And God does just that, preserves us for eternity once we put our faith in Him. Love it!
One of the first Petra songs I'd ever heard back in the mid-80s, God used their music to change my life continuing 30 years later. GRATEFUL.
I would never have said this better myself. Got hooked on Petra in a friend's dorm room during my Freshman year of college...still jam to this album together with MPTY. Still moved to tears by a lot of this stuff.
saw them in branson mo in Nov 2021-brought me back to my Lord!-first petra album I owned-still love it!
The bridge of this song always makes me cry happy tears...WELL DONE!!!
i should listen to this everyday
Went to this show in Dallas back in '82 or '83, I was hooked! After all these years to still remember the words... The anointing is just as strong today as it was then. Thank you Jesus for Petra and their willingness to serve you.
Been listening to them for 35 years and they still Rock you remember me
Jammin to this on the way to church back in the day with best friend David. Man, those were the days
Takes me back, very powerful music. All my Petra was vinyl and I'm glad to see it available today
This song will be 40 years old tonight, and it rings out even more true now. I want to be a "God Pleaser"
Your right the latter rain will soon be poured out, what an honor to be born at such a time as this, we will see great an amazing things!!! The giant is about to wake up!!! The intercessors and worshipers are being called forth even now!!! Praise God, the anticipation is in the air!!!!!!!!
I completely forgot that we ended that album with the Visions reprise. I guess it was pretty cool after all. (John M. Slick, Petra 1979-1984)
Sir, I appreciate the work you guys have done, this song is part of the soundtrack of mine & many other lives!!
Hi John, Did you sing the song, "Ask Him in"? I loved that song. We never Met but I sang for Barren Cross in 1990 and did Cornerstone 1990 with Petra. I cherish all the Petra music from way back and regard y'all as one of the most inspirational Christian bands of all time. I am blessed every single time I listen. I have to admit that I Listen mostly to early years with you in the mix. You were great. Hope you are well brother. God bless you.
Having the doxology in there was so cool. My 2nd senior year at Trevecca, my roommate had "More Power To Ya" and "Not Of This World" on DVD, and worked them into rotation on his 6 CD changer. Years later I would get the opportunity to obtain on my own CD collection. Now I really like "Beyond Belief" very well, but must confess those two that Troy had have gotten the most playtime on my playlists of all Petra Albums.
I just noticed the Doxology after God Pleaser for the first time and I've heard the song hundreds of times. Funny.
The older I get, the more I appreciate this song. Grave Robber is still the best song on this album, but this one might be #2. Clean, straightforward message with a good score. Well done, Petra.
Oh the memories...amazing...timeless...God inspired...
- Colossians 1:10 - That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of GOD;
"Dont want to be Man pleaser I want to be a God Pleaser."
I was given this cassette as a birthday present back in the 80's and when I heard the whole cassette, this song always stuck out. I fell in love with it immediately! I don't think it was ever a hit but to me it should have been! It's a great song with awesome lyrics. Thanks for posting it.
Beautiful album
Bless

he is waiting for us to make a diffrence....
I challange you... this music is over 25 yrs old and It still gives goosey bumps.....
connie lee
I love this song too.
Like Paul said to the Romans that which I should do I don't do and that which I shouldn't do I do but regardless of our human battle with our flesh I stilll want to be a God Pleaser (Paul's biblical description is mine)
Love it! Petra is my childhood!!! My most memorable memories of childhood. I have seen Petra in concert at least 6 times that I can remember and also Rez band too a couple of times. Thank you so much for your blessings for many many years! I just rededicated my life last year in February (2011) at 35 years old. I am proof that if you bring a child up in the christian faith that when they are old they will not depart from it!! Praise God!! 1 question: R U guys still singing & making CDs?
Yes, they are!
Thank you connie for those encouraging words spoken like a true God pleaser...
While I know it's impossible for me to please God....this song brings back a lot of memories.
The Bible says without faith it’s impossible to please God. We must believe that he is God and a rewarded of those who trust him. Hebrews 11:6
john, i was at one of your stops on that tour. it was "township auditorium" in columbia s.c. i am sure you dont remember that but it was cool for a young kid at the time.
The Last Great Awakening is about to start now before the Rapture. It starts with you & me Loving People Like Jesus Loved us & them. Love them enough to correctly tell them about Jesus christ & what he did for us within 1 minute. 1 minute is all most non-christians will give you & me to Explain the Gospel.
This will Please God!!

first lead guitar solo that i learned...
It sounds like it would be a lot of fun to play! Like when you get it down, it sounds pretty good and it's simple really! A great solo to learn in the beginning ✅
Hammer & pulls on the B & E strings
Godpleaser Ephesians 6:6.NKJV.Amen.#Petra
I don't know how this could be offensive to some religious people. All the messaging is good as far as christianity is concerned, so my best guess is that Petra's worst christian critics are in fact unchristian in their condemnation of this beautiful music.
For some reason it won't let me click like on this.
