If you've been feeling weaker by the day...
Petra finally announced retirement (in Dec 2005) after 33 years of music and ministry! The band had released more than 20 albums -- all of them boldly and consistently proclaimed the gospel of Christ.
Petra (Greek, meaning "rock" in English, see Matthews 16:18) has been my most favorite Christian band in all these years. Whenever I find myself weaker (like today), their songs helped to strengthen me -- for so many times. There're so many songs that I can share, here's one of them. I wish they could do the same to you...
More Power to Ya
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Isaiah 40:31
You say you've been feeling weaker, weaker by the day
You say you can't make the joy of your salvation stay
But good things come to them that wait
Not to those who hesitate
So hurry up and wait upon the Lord
(Chorus)
More power to ya
When you're standing on His word
When you're trusting with your whole heart in the message you have heard
More power to ya
When we're all in one accord
They that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew, they shall renew their strength
Jesus promised His disciples He'd give strength to them
Jesus told them all to tarry in Jerusalem
When they were all in one accord
The power of His Spirit poured
And they began to turn the world around (Chorus)
So be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might
Put on all His armor and fight the good fight
In all of our weakness, He becomes so strong
When He gives us the power and the strength to carry on (Chorus)
YCC b&s, do you still remember Isaiah 40:31 was quoted during our last Sunday service?

Central Saint Student,
If I were in the States or UK like you, I'll go to the iTunes Music Store to buy all my favorite Petra songs which I don't have on CD, at 0.79 pound for each song -- yes, they do have Petra!
Wooh... when they will the iTunes Music Store come to HK....? <8-(
