Petra - Beyond Belief Lyrics






We're content to pitch our tent
When the glory's evident
Seldom do we know
The glory came and went

Moving can seem dangerous
In this stranger's pilgrimage
Knowing that you can't stand still
You cross the bridge

[Chorus]
There's a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief

Leap of faith without a net
Makes us want to hedge our bet
Waters never part
Until our feet get wet, whoa, whoa

There's a deeper place to go
Where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work
Won't let it go (let it go!)

[Chorus]

And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around, and it seems so strange
We have come so far, but the journey's long
And we once were weak, but now we are strong

[Chorus]

    This song brings back memories .I reamber seeing them in concert at Carpentes Home Church

  23. 3.... E....

    Petra; the band that carried troubled youth in the 1990's from destructive lyrics that came from death metal, heavy metal and punk rock. I wasn't nearly as troubled of a youth than some I've seen hit rock bottom, but I did get heavily into punk rock and heavy metal music and tried marijuana several times.

    I was heading down a dark path until I discovered an alternative group "Petra" that was music I can still enjoy, just without the wicked negative lyrics other bands used. I really enjoyed listening to Petra for quite some time; you can understand the lyrics, they were clear and represent a positive uplifting message. Some of the lyrics are a bit cheesy but the quality of their harmonizing and band sound makes up for it.

  24. J.... A....

    You know, I've been back and forth with this belief thing for decades. Truth said I don't think we can ever know what''s the right path in terms of religion. Life is so complex. Hearing this tune again for the first time since way back fills me with hope, it's not necessarily religion, but nevertheless it fills me with some sort of hope if you know what I mean. Wish I knew the truth behind all of this...

  46. J.... Y....

    Ah, brings me back to youth group!

  47. T.... B....

    Grew up on this music.

    One of my private school classmates came up with a parody title: Pee On The Leaf

  60. I.... a....

    Back in the day I liked 'Head East'  Before I became a Christian.  Almost prophetic, or at least foreshadowing.  'Save my life I'm going down for the last time'  Band name HEAD EAST... The 'Wise Men'  followed the star of GOD in the east. We are now to watch & pray keeping our eyes to the east...  o.O

    J.... M....

  90. J.... C....

    LoL, what is with the flat tire on the camero? what does that have to do with the song?

    J.... C....

    It's showing that there's hard times on the road, which is supposed to represent the road of life, So it's basically saying there can be hard times in life, but you just gotta keep going

    J.... C....

    Well originally the film was a movie but they added them singing in it

    J.... C....

    Movie scein

    J.... C....

  92. 3.... ....

    Hey, if anybody knows of how to get ahold of a music video collection of theirs (if such a thing exists), PLEASE let me know! I've got so many DVDs of bands like Def Lep and Europe, but I want a little Petra in there to balance things out.

    3.... ....

    I could help you out

    3.... ....

    3impersonators check catbug.com it has Petra and white cross stuff

    v.... ....

    God love forever and ever...👍

  97. 3.... ....

    Glad to see there was SOME good music in my decade...
    Ah, Petra. The band that proved you could be Christian and cool at the same time.

    3.... ....

    Stryper's great, too. Don't count them out. Look up a retrospective of them by The Rageaholic.

    3.... ....

    This is the ONLY christian music i find uplifting these days....

    3.... ....

    Well, I wouldn't say COOL. But great song and great sound. Last great record they ever made.

  98. K.... M....

    I was BLESSED to see Petra live three times. (Nowhere near enough!!)

    As someone who has seen just about everyone that is considered ANYONE, I can confirm that they absolutely ROCKED!!

    Musically, they're consummate professionals and more than able to hold their own. Schlitt's vocals are possibly the best live vocal I've heard. Certainly in the top five. K
