Petra - Without Him We Can Do Nothing Lyrics






How can, how can we who are dead to sin
Live any longer therein?
We've been, we have been called and loved and forgiven
Our old life is forgotten

Do you remember what he's called you out of?
Do you remember where you were?
Let us not take advantage of his love
That we forget that we have been forgiven
Without Him we can do nothing

I know, I know where I was when He found me
With so much confusion around me
He's been, He has been all that we would let Him
Without Him we can do nothing

    Something about the Greg Volz years I really dig about Petra. Their sound was more bluesy and less hard rock, lyrics a bit more reflective; however Shlitt really launched the 2nd part of their climb.

    What a great song, here are some scriptures that go with this song, that is what I love about Petra. Good music, Biblical words, worship to the one true God. To Him be the glory.


    Romans 6
    1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
    5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. 7 For one who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. 9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
    12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. 14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.
    Slaves to Righteousness 15 What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 17 But thanks be to God, that you who were once slaves of sin have become obedient from the heart to the standard of teaching to which you were committed, 18 and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 19 I am speaking in human terms, because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.
    20 For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. 22 But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life. 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
    Jude 1:1
    To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ:
    Ephesians 4:20-24
    20 But that is not the way you learned Christ!— 21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
    1 Peter 2:9-10
    9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 10 Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
    1 Corinthians 6:9-11
    9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
    Ephesians 2:1-10
    1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
    John 15:5
    5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

    they didn't advertise anything

    What are you talking about? There are no ads on this video. Also, UnknownPetraFan (the uploader) has been inactive for 9 years. Even if there were ads on the video, there's no way (s)he's profiting off of them.

    Who the hell are you, anyway? Get a life and worry about your own channel.

  21. A.... (....

    awesome.

  22. s.... ....

    Great meaningful song, and no one has commented in 4 years?  Wake up, my fellow Christians.

    s.... ....

    Hints of CCR in this song rhythm.

  23. J.... E....

    I thought of this song in church yesterday when the minister said, "How many of you are prideful?" Of course every hand went up. It's amazing how we can be full of pride, when without Him we can do nothing.

  24. E.... H....

    ¿QUE HARIAMOS SIN EL SEÑOR?? NAAADDDAAAAA!! SOMOS TODO GRACIAS A EL!! gracias Petra por esta canciòn y su letra...

  25. D.... O....

    Awesome this song gets me fired up about Jesus! He is Lord!

  26. b.... ....

    That's great. Thanks bms

  27. b.... ....

    It's on itunes now... on the "Petra Means Rock" album

  28. f.... ....

    I love that guitar lick in the intro.

  29. R.... F....

    Hey thanks a million for putting these guys on here. This song brings back so many great memories. I was on the USS ENTERPRISE from 1983-1986 & PETRA was so instrumental in showing me that with GOD we can make it! Thanks Bro

  30. m.... ....

    These songs are probably unsurpassed regarding not even musical quality but first and most regarding the clear and razor-sharp message. There's very few bands standing this firm on the Word of God and proclaiming it in such a way. Well, as they say - when the God doesn't build the house, the builders work in vain (Psalm 127)...

    m.... ....

    Amen!!! Well-said!!!

  31. b.... ....

    Thanx for posting this. u can't buy it on i-tunes. just what the Dr ordered

  32. K.... ....

    This is my favorite Petra song! Thank you so much UnknownPetraFan for taking the time to upload these! I have this album, but my record player needs some repairs, so I haven't heard it in a while! Again, thank you!
