More Power to Ya (More Power to Ya Version) Lyrics


You say you've been feeling weaker, weaker by the day
You say you can't make the joy of you're Salvation stay
But good things come to them that wait, not to those who hesitate
So, hurry up and wait upon the LordMore 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 strengthJesus 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 aroundMore 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 strengthSo be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might
Put on all His Armour and fight the good fight

Instead of all of our weakness He becomes so strong
He gives us the power and the strength to carry onMore 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

There is more than one artist with this name:

1) Petra is a Christian Rock band formed in 1972 by Bob Hartman, Bill Glover, John DeGroff, and Greg Hough. "Petra" means "rock" in NT Greek, making the band name a triple pun. Rising from the jesus music movement, and initially signed to [recordlabel]Myrrh Records[/recordlabel], they fought to gain acceptance and recognition in a church culture that at the time believed rock music to be off-limits. Over time they eventually won over most of their critics, thanks to a steady approach and some solid adult contemporary airplay hits like "The Coloring Song," outside of their usual rock fare. By the mid-80's, when lead singer Greg X. Volz left the band and was replaced by John Schlitt, Petra had solidified their place as the foremost Christian rock band in the industry with a string of hit albums and singles and strong touring. The release of Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out marked a turn towards modern-sounding worship music that would soon explode into the modern worship movement.

Petra was nominated for and won numerous Grammy and Dove Awards. In 1991, after the release of their acclaimed Beyond Belief record, Petra became the first rock band ever to win for Group of the Year at the Dove Awards. They were also the first Christian rock band to be inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

For three decades Petra continued to produce albums despite changes in their line-up as well as the genre and market. On May 24th, 2005 Petra announced their retirement after 33 years of ministry. They recorded one of their final performances in Franklin, Tennessee to release it as their last album, Farewell. Their last performance finished in the early hours of January 1, 2006 in Murphy, North Carolina. Bob Hartman and John Schlitt continue to tour under the moniker II Guys from Petra.
