Not By Sight is my choice. I first heard that song on Petra Means Rock, and it has been one of my all time favorites.

This is my favorite Petra album of all time- went with "Blinded Eyes" but could also have chosen "Bema Seat".

picked Godpleaser. Though I love the title song, when I was a younger believer, the Godpleaser song just meant so much to me - was like an anthem and a prayer. Totally was/is the desire of my heart.

I chose Bema Seat. The first time I heard it on the Classic Petra album, I was floored by the guitar - then chilled by the lyrics.
Grave Robber, Godpleaser and Not By Sight are also up there.
Just curious, Samson, are you polling us just for fun? This is pretty cool.

I'm enjoying this and it's fun to revisit some albums I haven't listened to in awhile.

The only song I'm familiar with is Not of This World and, sorry, I disliked it from the start.

Yeah, it was always weird to me that they started this album with a ballad. There's some great rockers on here like Bema Seat and Not By Sight. I would have thought one of those was a better opening track than the title track ballad. Oh well, still a great album.
Voted for Grave Robber...one of my all time favorites from Petra.

So true of me as well! I also picked this song for that reason.

I understand why Leslie Phillips turned her back on the industry, but I sure miss her releasing christian albums. She could have kept a good pace in Christian music but I guess I understand her reasons. Imagine my shock when after being a huge fan for a couple years I discovered her Sam Phillips album "martinis and bikini" - the album cover made me think she bailed on her faith. But I read a bunch of stuff she wrote and "get" her strangeness now.

Yeah I totally get it.... Trully like many other artists who started one way (in the public eye) and moved away from that persona... Kings X... oh yeah...

Pied Piper is actually one of the first Petra songs I heard, on Internet radio, back when I just listened to Internet radio all day. Catchy song.
