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.

La música en todas sus formas le pertenece a DIOS TODOPODEROSO, el es el creador de la alabanza y adoración, Dios creo al hombre y a toda su creación para alabarle. el diablo tiene envidia de DIOS y de toda su creación y quiere robarle lo que el ama mas y eso es nuestras almas, pero nosotros que creemos en un DIOS vivo tenemos la responsabilidad de todas esas almas que no conocen de el o están confundidas, en estos últimos tiempos tenemos que alabarle con estas hermosas letras de estas canciones que estremecen el alma y hacen regocijar el espíritu independientemente si es rock pop u otro ritmo, lo importante que estamos comunicándonos con nuestro DIOS de alguna forma y rompiendo cadenas . TE AMO DIOS POR TODO LO QUE AS ECHO EN MI VIDA Y GRACIAS POR ESTOS HERMOSOS SIERVOS QUE ME HAN ENSEÑADO A ADORARTE !!
Max Prime
la musica es creación de Dios, el diablo solo la ha usado para darse a el mismo la gloria que le pertenece a Cristo, es nuestro deber usarla para el proposito original para el que que Dios la creó, todos los ritmos, todos los estilos, todo lo que respire alabe su Nombre
