Petra - In The Likeness Of You Lyrics






[Based on Psalm 17:15]

In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Let me awake forever
In the likeness
In the likeness of You

Now I lay me down to sleep
My heart and soul are Yours to keep
I close my eyes and try to see
More of You and less of me

Jesus, I'm trusting in You
So while I'm sleeping
Keep me dreaming
Of when I will awake

In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Resurrected by Your righteousness
In Your likeness
In the likeness of You

Men dream of fortune and fame
Making the rules, naming the game
And men dream of things they can hold
Money and power, silver and gold
Jesus, I'm dreaming of You
Take me and melt me, mold me
Until I am complete

In the likeness of You
Recreated, renewed
Resurrected by Your righteousness
In the likeness of You
In the likeness of You
So faithful and true
Let me awake forever in the likeness of You

The likeness of You
I want to be
I want to be like You
In all I say
In all I do

    The greatest rock band ever.

    This song is part of a special little memory for me. Another guy in our congregation and I performed this one Easter morning for the church, and it was one of those all too rare instances when everything went off perfectly -- better than it ever had in practice. Thank you for this song and that experience, Lord.

    Unseen Power is Petra's masterpiece, IMO.  I know a lot of people feel it's Beyond Belief, but there is just "something" with Unseen Power that BB seems to be missing.  

    p.... ....

    Agreed, well said!

    What post or comment are you referring to? Curious as to who Brad is referring to?

    In the Likeness of You

  27. W.... G....

    Jesus is Love

  28. T.... M....

    1 John 3:2, " For it does not (yet) appear what we shall be, (but) we know that when He does
    Appear, we shall be (like) Him, for we shall see Him as
    He is."

    T.... M....

    Amen and amen, Brother. Take care and God bless!

  29. D.... M....

    From the beginning when God created Man from his likeness he gave every human being on earth an advice not to touch the fruit of the knowledge of Good & Evil. The fruit of the knowledge of Good & Evil is asking for every human to fall through. I do believe you send Jesus to restore Man-kind back to life to recover the situation. So we dont struggle into darkness

  30. T.... M....

    Ephesians 2:10, " For (we) are HIS workmanship, (created) in Christ JESUS for good works,

    which GOD foreknew, for us to walk in them." Clossians: "

  31. T.... M....

    Remember what the Apostle Paul said, in Philippians 1:6, being confident in this (one) thing,
    that (HE) who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it, until the Day of JESUS Christ." We learn 2 things. 1.) HE(GOD) began the work. 2. HE will be Faithful to complete th e work, not us. 3.) Until the day of JESUS Christ., meaning until JESUS returns.
    GOD will keep working on us, for HE knows were not perfect, only HE is perfect.

  32. R.... L....

    One of my favourite Petra albums.

  33. D.... L....

    I love this song & this band. *Looking forward to His return*. I love You, Lord. Thank You, Precious Savior, for dying on the cross for an undeserving, bratty sinner like me. Unworthy, but worth something in Your eyes, Oh Lord. <3 You always. In Your glorious name I pray, Amen. =)

  34. F.... H....

    Amazing song... I love this band!
    <3 PETRA FOREVER

  35. i.... m....

    Like? Try *LOVE*...!

  36. F.... G....

    How can I ever be like You Lord,You're Perfect and I'm just a man and I bow down before thee,Oh Lord and my God !!!!!

  37. R.... ....

    @pnutbutrncrackers This isn't Greg. This is John Schlitt.

  38. C.... R....

    no matter how many times i've heard this over the years, it's still an inspiration to me.

  39. z.... ....

    And the message of THIS song is clear as clear can get!!! This is a favorite, because my Mom (Who has since went onward) really liked this song---and she didn't like 'modern' music!!!

  40. C.... ....

    I love PETRA so much

    Ah, this was back when they were still doing Power Ballads. It's a good song. Unseen Power is one of the best albums by Petra. That's my opinion.
