| 01 The Coloring Song
Words and music: Dave Eden Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition
G
Red is the color of the blood that flowed
F C G
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own Son
F C G
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one
F C G
That can give us life, that can make us grow
F C G F C G
That can make the love between us flow
Blue is the color of a heart so cold
That will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus' face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely on everyone
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of Love that calms the storm
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
And there's just one God and there's just one Man
F C G
That can give us life, that can make us grow
F C G
That can make our sins as white as snow
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
F C G
That can give us life, that can make us grow
F C G F C G
That can make the love between us flow |
| 02 Chameleon
Words and music: Bob Hartman Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition You want the best of both worlds but you're not getting either You seem content to ride the fence when you know which side is greener Some run hot and some run cold and some run from their maker Some run the risk of losing all with lukewarm friends and fakers Chameleon, you blend with your surroundings Chameleon, no one knows where you come from Chameleon, you change with every situation Compromising dedication You compromise each word you say so inoffensively You only want to hide behind you annonimity You struggle for acceptance and it takes you to extremes The smile you hide your face behind is not all that it seems Come out, come out, come out from among them Come out, come out, come out and be free There is no gray, no neutral ground, there's only black and white And nothing in between the two to turn a wrong to right There is no time for you charade, you've got to make your stand When salt has lost it's savor the world becomes so bland |
| 03 Angel Of Light
Words and music: Bob Hartman Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition
D A Bm F# G Gm D A
D A Bm F# G Gm D
Bm Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm
Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm
City lights are flashing, they call you to the street
Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm
Hearts are filled with passion in everyone you meet
Em7
The boulevard is waiting, it wants to get you high
D A9 Bsus4 Bm Bsus4 Bm
The neon signs are waiting to sell you anything you wanna buy
F# Bm F#
But I know your devices and it shouldn't seem so odd
Bm G D A
You lied from the beginning, I see through your facade
D A Bm F#
Angel of light, I see you glow in the night
G Gm D A
But you only bring darkness to my soul
D A Bm F#
Angel of light, you're telling me wrong is right
G Gm D Bm
But I won't let your evil take control
They follow in your footsteps not knowing that you fell
Bumper to bumper on the freeway to hell
You lead them into wrong and you make it look so right
You lead them into darkness and make them think you lead them into light
But I know where you're going, too bad you're not alone
If it wasn't for the real light I might have never known
(Chorus)
Bm G F#
You got the clergy working overtime to widen the narrow way
Bm G F#
You've got politicians everywhere listening to what you say
Bm G F#
You've got false apostles teaching lies, perverting the only way
Bm G
You've got principalities and powers waiting to obey
Bm G F#
You've got philosophies and vain deceits lying to deceive
Bm G F#
You've got hate and greed, ungoldy lust in the deadly web you weave
Bm G F#
Somehow you've got so many think you're not even there
Bm G F#
One look is all it takes to get them blinded by your glare
(Chorus) |
| 05 Without Him We Can Do Nothing
Words and music: Greg X. Volz Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition How can, how can we who are dead to sin Live any longer therein? No, no 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 So much confusion around me He's been, He has been all that we would let Him Without Him we can do nothing |
| 06 Never Say Die
Words and music: Bob Hartman Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition Bb F Gm7 F Bb F C (2x)
F Am7 Bbmaj7 C
You've been tossing in your sleep
Gm7 Bb C Am7 Dm7
Over promises you made that you couldn't keep
C F Am7 Bbmaj7 C
And you're feeling sorry for yourself
Bb C Dm Bb
Thinking He's done with you, and you're on the shelf
C F Am7 Bbmaj7 C
And you're tired running in the race
Gm7 Bb C Am7 Dm
Straying to and fro, falling on your face
C F Am7 Bbmaj7 C
So you want to throw your towel in
Bb C Dm Bb C
Brother before you do, you better think again
Bb F Gm7 F Bb F C
Never say die, no, you've come too far to turn back now
Bb F Gm7 F Bb C F
Give it one more try and He'll help you through
Bb F Gm7 F Bb F C
Never say die, no, we are weak but He is strong
Bb F Gm7 F Bb C F
And strength He will supply when you ask Him to
You went wrong, you remember when
Instead of pressing toward the mark you missed it once again
And you think that you're the only one
Who's ever come your way and done what you have done
So you try to tuck your tail and run
But then you realize you're back where you've begun
Oh can't you see Him waiting there for you?
With arms wide open now, wanting to see you through
C
Press on, press on
Bb Am7 Dm7
Keep your hand upon that plow
Gm7 Am7
Press on, press on
Bbmaj7 C
And He will lead you through somehow |
| 08 For Annie
Words and music: Bob Hartman Taken from The Petra Songbook - Special 10-Year Anniversary Souvenir Edition
C
F G C
No one ever noticed Annie weeping
F G Am G F
People all around, but she was all a- lone
Dm G Em Am
Mama's got her meetings, daddy's got his job
F Gsus4 Am G F
No one's got the time so Annie's on her own
No one ever knew her desperation
People couldn't hear her cry out silently
Locked inside the bathroom she grabs a jar of pills
The medicine that cures becomes the poison that kills
G Am Em F C
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
Fmaj7 G Dm7 G
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
F G Am G C
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
Sadness fills the hearts of Annie's family
Daddy tries to comfort mama uselessly
They hoped she knew they loved her, but they really didn't know
They just want to know why did their baby go
G Am Em F C
And it's too late for Annie, she's gone away for good
Fmaj7 G Dm7 G
There's so much we could tell her and now we wish we could
Am Em Am Em
We would tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Am Em Am G F
Tell her He can free her and her bur-dens bear
G Am G C
But it's too late, it's too late for Annie
F G C
If only we had known her situation
F G Am G Fmaj7
We'd have tried to stop this useless tra-ge-dy
Dm G Em Am
Annie's lost forever, never to be found
Fmaj7 G Am G F
But there are lots of others like her all a- round
G Am Em F C
And it's not too late for Annie, she could be next to you
F G Dm7 G
Don't miss the chance to tell her before her life is through
Am Em Am Em
We gotta tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Am Em Am G F G
Tell her He can free her and her bur-dens bear
Am Em Am Em
Tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Am Em Am G F G
Tell her He can free her and her bur-dens bear
Am Em Am Em
You've got to tell her Jesus loves her, tell her Jesus cares
Am Em Am G F
Tell her He can free her and her bur-dens bear
Am
It's not too late |
