01 God Gave Rock And Roll To You
Words and music: Russ Ballard

C  Em  Am  C  G  F  Eb  Bb
C  Em  Am  C  G  F  Eb  Bb

(Chorus)
C                 Em
God gave rock and roll to you
Am               G
   Gave rock and roll to you
F               Eb  Bb       C
  Put it in the soul   of everyone
C                 Em
God gave rock and roll to you
Am               G
   Gave rock and roll to you
F               Eb  Bb       C
  Put it in the soul   of everyone

        Bb
You can learn to dance or you can be a square

You can let the music take you anywhere
    Ab                         Eb
But where will you be when the music's gone
        Bb
You can learn to sing, you can play guitar

You can learn to rock, you can be a star
    Ab                         Eb
But where will you be when the music's gone

Repeat (Chorus)

If you love the sound then don't forget the source
You can turn around, you can change your course
'Cause it's never too late to change your mind
You can love the rock and let Him free your soul
Or you can let the old man take his toll
It's never too late to change your mind

C  Em  Bb  Eb  Db  Ab  Bb

(Chorus #2)
Bb                Dm7
God gave rock and roll to you
Gm               F
   Gave rock and roll to you
Eb               Db  Ab       Bb
   Put it in the soul   of everyone

Repeat (Chorus #2) to fade
02 Ask Him In
Words and music: Bob Hartman
Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition
E  A  E  G#m  F#m
E  A  E  G#m  F#m

E                          F#m7
Now that you've heard the music
A                      E
Where do you go from here
        F#m                         B                             E
You see music only takes you to the place where you're ready to hear
A  E  G#m  F#m

E                               F#m
We could sing and tell you we love you
A                         E
You could say it wasn't true
    F#m7                         B                 E
But how can you say that about a man who died for you
A  E  G#m  F#m

(Chorus)
Amaj7                    E
Jesus is holding out His love to you
       F#m7                          Emaj7  F#m7  E
But He made it so that you have to choose
Amaj7                 G#m
How can you walk away empty again
         F#7                             B    A  B
When you know that you've got nothing to lose

E  A  E  G#m  F#m
E  A  E  G#m  F#m

You could probably think of a reason
To wait until another day
But the Spirit is speaking, telling you
Today is the day

Jesus gave His life as a ransom
Was crucified and laid in a grave
But He rose again and made a new way
For man to be saved

Repeat (Chorus)

Emaj7         F#m7   B
      Ask Him in, He loves you
Emaj7         F#m7   B
      Ask Him in, He loves you
Emaj7         F#m7   B
      Ask Him in, He loves you
Emaj7         F#m7  A  B     E
      Ask Him in,   He loves you
05 Come And Join Us
Words and music: Bob Hartman
Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition
A                 B          E             A
  We are like stones built together in a wall
F#m7              B           E                A
     Made up of whosoever the Master Builder calls
A               B         E                A
  We are not worthy but together we are strong
F#m7                B              E                A  B
     Built on the Rock of Ages the wall is almost done

E          A              B
  Come and join us in the sunlight
D                            A
  You've been sittin' in the shade too long
E                    B                      F#  B
  Come and give us a chance to sing you a song
E          A              B
  Come and join us in the sunlight
D                                A
  If you would reach you could touch the sky
E                          B
  Come and drink from the well that will never run dry

We are like strangers and pilgrims in this world
Lifting the blood stained banner our flag has been unfurled
We have a homeland no eyes have ever seen
But those who've gone before us whose souls have been redeemed

We are like children held in the Father's hand
Growing into the image of Christ the Son of Man
We are not perfect but changing every day
Through trials and tribulation we'll find the perfect way
