Petra - Get On Your Knees And Fight Like A Man Lyrics
[Based on 2 Chronicles 10:4, James 5:16]
Out on your own with your own self reliance
You've got no one to watch your back
You find yourself caught with no strong alliance
Over your head the condition is graver
You've given ground you can't retrieve
The cards are stacked and they're not in your favor
But you've got an ace up your sleeve
Get on your knees and fight like a man
You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can
Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee
Get on your knees and fight like a man
Under the gun, you've got no place to hide out
Backed in the corner on your own
This is one storm you are destined to ride out
One way to leave the danger zone
Get on your knees and fight like a man
You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can
Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee
Get on your knees and fight like a man
You've got the backbone to fight this tide
You've got the will to survive
You've got the weapon, it's at your side
You've got to learn to confide
Get on your knees and fight like a man
You'll pull down strongholds if you just believe you can
Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee
Get on your knees and fight like a man

Petra Get On Your Knees And Fight Like A Man Comments
Petra was one of the main driving forces that got me through high school. As good a Biblical commentary as any printed in a book!
Yes, spend the needed time on your knees, but sooner or later you got to go back and battle, and no warrior does that only on their knees, you have to stand up, put on the full armour, and battle, but prayer is the most needed weapon you have...remember, we walk by faith, and not by sight, and if your Father is for you, then who can be against you?
Very Well Said! 👏
Wonderful comments!! Let us wear the Holy Armor and fight with the spiritual weapons and Our God will give us the victory!
Linda cancao de petra...
👍👋🙌👏👋🙌👏👍🤗🤗🤟👋🙌👻🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Love it Thank you ❤️ God Bless you 😇
Ai e uma banda massa musica linda
If my life ever became a Pokemon series, this would be my theme song.
Remember, when you think you can't stand against what's facing you, if God is with you, NONE can stand against you!
Amen, amen, amen
This is so important to me a year after you wrote. Thank you
Funny how this song title can be political now days. I wish I could go back to the 80's!
Only laying on your knees and speaking to the King of Kings is the Ultimate weapon! Confess your sins and ask for guidance and don't sin no more and your prayers will be heard
"don't sin no more and your prayers will be heard" that is bull....HE HEARS YOUR PRAYERS NO MATTER WHAT! If you can go without sinning, you are better man that ! I am not perfect never will be! You sin knowingly or unknowingly...I am not Perfect...Just Forgiven!
Thank you.
one of my all time favorite petra songs

PetrA A Bible Study In Every Song Guaranteed.
Beautiful song
THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE
If you follow the Master
the world will reject you
as it rejects the Pastor
with a lot of ballyhoo
The disciple is NOT above the Master
nor the servant above his Lord
the world is heading for a disaster
the Creator is ready to have it restored
The Queen of Heaven comes to warn
us poor children of naughty Eve
if we don’t listen, we’ll surely mourn
in an “eternity” full of grief
Each one of us is free to decide
whether to follow God or a worldly path
whether to be humble or full of pride
whether to be full of Love or full of wrath
The Righteous Judge keeps patiently
inviting His children to choose wisely
but most of us refuse blatantly
to follow His Commandments very precisely
He who will not hear, will feel .

DARKNESS COVERS THE ABYSS
In a world so full of darkness
hearts transform into harshness
mouths are hurling insults
living the Me, Me, Me, cults
A brother killing his brother
a daughter killing her mother
kids who choose rather
than to obey, to kill the father
a world drenched in the occult
and in God refuses to exult
has chosen its own direction
thus asking for Your correction
As in the times of Noah, we are in the days
You spoke of in so many different ways
we live in the end of time as we know it
in which finally Thy Kingdom will be legit
Please Lord, let Your Light
more than ever be so bright
let it shine upon each faithful son
to achieve the victory already won.
Jesus will triumph in the final victory over the devil

PERSECUTION
Woe, Woe, Woe
satan is using a hoe
to attack us and destroy
hidden in the horse of Troy
he puts on a "friendly face"
for, "just in case"
we fall into his trap
he can deride us in his lap
Following You, our heavenly Boss,
on the way of the Cross
satan always lies in wait
to entice us with his bait
As he has only a short time left
his behavior becomes very deft
enticing as many as he can get
to lure them in his evil drag-net
But I know, oh my Lord
that I try to strike a chord
to elicit Your intervention
to keep satan in detention
Impatiently waiting for Your return
which we still need to earn
free us from the snares of the devil
push him back to the lowest level
In God we trust

This song is my battle cry!!!
+Jess Everett Yes!
This song speaks to my greatest spiritual struggle. I act like I believe I can conquer sin and battle my problems with my own effort. After I create disasters for myself, then I remember to pray. One of these days I'll convince my stubborn self to pray first.
+James Edgar take courage
When you find yourself "far" from God's path, just turn around, He is waiting to embrace you and guide you.
Best advice I've ever been given, as I all too often find myself straying, only to turn to Him and realize He was right there just waiting for me all the time. He's the only being more patient than my parents, they're saints just for surviving my teen years.
The man is head of the house it is his responsibility to ensure that his house is in order the best way to do it is in prayer
Amen, my Father has been the true head of house as long as I've been able to remember. But, he knows that my Mother is there to support him and turns to her for support, comfort, and she always stands with him.
I can completely relate to this song. Many, many nights alone have led me to fight on my knees.
I can't wait to see them live at Creation NW 2013~
I'm with you on that, too!!
This is as bad as striper hah.
my favorite of time Frank Quinn
I saw them do this song live in 1987!!! My youth group took us, to the concert. I lost my cassette tape : (
to...not AT sbasmaling. I had a mother-in-law that was Church of Christ. Hard Core. She swore everyone was a heathen or blasphemous if the name of their Church did not contain the word Christ. The baptist part of my family and the catholic part of my family were worshiping John the Baptist, and idols according to her...and the Jewish part, were Christ killers! and nothing more. Just a suggestion, why do you not get up there, in a large forum with proper permission, and make it mainstream?
@UnknownPetraFan amen to that!
@sbasmaling make a song that sounds so much like the world with no mention of God, that you can only tell it's supposed to be Christian by the group which sings it. With as much music as is out in the world there will be some works that are quite close to others, and that's cool, it's not that which I was speaking of. Sorry for offending you. On another note, there will probably never be another Band like Petra. The days of that kind of music seem to be over. Days of autotune reign.
@wwwuraRetard Hmm. Maybe you misunderstood my comment, but that's okay. There is plenty of great Christian music out there and we can all have our own opinion. The point is does it glorify God, does it encourage other Christians, does it draw people to Christ? Those, in my mind, are the guidelines for great Christian music. I realize that there are similarities in music, but what I was speaking of is when people take secular songs and make them 'christian' by just changing the words or (cont)
@azzyandlexie 2 different styles of vocalist, Greg has a 4 octave range and John doesn't
I saw them in concert in Joplin, MO back in 87 on their "THIS MEANS WAR TOUR" & Stephen Curtis Chapman opened for them. I so wanted to talk to the members of Petra being a BIG fan but they did their set and left so fast your head could spin. But I did get to spend an hour talking to Stephen Curtis Chapman (which at that time was just rising to fame - never heard of him before). I can tell you this, Stephen was so genuine and down to earth. He gave me encouragement to continue with my music.
I met John once at the Dove awards in 2001. I was freaking out but he was super cool and gave me a high five!
@Wayne Chandler yeah, John was super nice when I met him too...he even asked me my name so he could sign my poster specifically to me. I will never forget that.
i LIKED THE NEW PETRA WITH JOHN SINGING LEAD BUT YOU GOT TO ADMIT HE IS NO GREG X. VOLZ!!!
If only more guys would take this advice. Most of 'em (I'm sure there are exceptions) think it's sissy to pray beyond blessing their food.
Petra and Stryper are THE BEST Christian bands ever.
I remember when this came out. I was working in a Christian radio station), both the music director and myself, immediately grabbed our guitars and went to learning this song... The whole album is great, but I love this song... Man, much of today's music has missed the message of these simple, but awesome songs...
Real men pray, anyone who doesn't gets hurt, and alot of people don't seem to get that today.
Brings back some serious memories! Petra is the first christian rock band I ever went to see! Was at LoveFest in Milford Nebraska in I think '87, couldn't talk (hoarse) for 2 days after This Means War!
my fav Petra song
Great - Song, Great Words, & Great Victory !
Once again thanks for all these videos your uploading unknownpetrafan. They are truly my favorite christian rock groups. This is the best way to fight back is to Pray, that is get on your knees and Pray To Jesus, He'll help you through all your troubles if you just ask!!
I remember my mom playing this in the car when I was little and grew to love it. :)
Sweet as! I just got the 'Petra Greatest Hits' CD, this isn't on it. That is sad, but, there are HEAPS of great Petra songs on there. My personal fav - Judas Kiss. Man these guys are so much better then the new Christian Music. I hate it that many artists now try to sound just like the world. Get some originality! These guys Rock! Cheers bro.
definitivamente una de las mejores...
One my all time favorite songs. Period.
I love this song!!!
