At the time of Petra's retirement at the end of 2005, the future was unclear for Bob and John. Both were pursuing other ventures outside of the music business when Bob received an invitation from Canada to lead worship for a youth retreat. Bob immediately thought of teaming with John, much to the delight of the sponsors. As Bob began arranging popular worship songs for the duo to perform, it became obvious that it wouldn't be much harder to make an album together. After several months of work it was time to christen the new venture. Should they call themselves Bob and John...or Schlitt and Hartman? They elected to call themselves what they suspected people would call them inevitably..."Oh...that's two guys from Petra"!

Come, now is the time to worship
Come, now is the time to give your heart
Come, just as you are to worship
Come, just as you are before your God, come

One day every tongue will confess you are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now

Willingly we choose to surrender our lives
Willingly our knees will bow
With all our hearts, our mind and strength
We gladly choose you now

 

Trading My Sorrows      LISTEN      top
Darrell Evans

I'm trading my sorrows
I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

We say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord
Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen

I'm pressed, but not crushed, persecuted,
not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure
That his joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

 

God Of Wonders      LISTEN      topiiguysguitar.jpg
Marc Byrd, Steve Hindalong

Lord of all creation
Of water earth and sky
The heavens are Your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

Lord of heaven and earth

Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When I stumble in the darkness
I will call your name by night

Hallelujah! to the Lord of heaven and earth

Precious Lord, reveal Your heart to me
Father, holy, hold me
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy

 

Draw Me Close      LISTEN      top
Kelly Carpenter

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend

You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else could take your place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way
To bring me back to you

You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near

 

Here I Am To Worship      LISTEN      top
Tim Hughes

Light of the World, You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

(So) Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me

King of all days, oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above,
Humbly You came to the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

I'll never know how much it cost
to see my sin upon that cross

 

My Redeemer Lives      LISTEN      top
Reuben Morgan

I know He rescued my soul
His blood has covered my sin
I believe, I believe

My shame He's taken away
My pain is healed in His name
I believe, I believe

I'll raise a banner
'Cause my Lord has conquered the grave

My Redeemer Lives
My Redeemer Lives
My Redeemer Lives
My Redeemer Lives

You Lift my burden
I'll rise with You
I'm dancing on this mountain top
To see Your kingdom come

 

Lord Reign In Me      LISTEN      top
Brenton Brown

Over all the earth
You reign on high
Every mountain stream
Every sunset sky
But my one request
Lord my only aim
Is that You’d reign in me again

Lord reign in me
Reign in Your power
Over all my dreams
In my darkest hour
You are the Lord
Of all I am
So won’t You reign in me again

Over every thought
Over every word
May my life reflect
The beauty of my Lord
'Cause you mean more to me
Than any earthly thing
So won’t You reign in me again

 

We Fall Down      LISTEN      top
Chris Tomlin

We fall down, we lay our crowns at the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love, at the feet of Jesus

And we cry holy, holy, holy,
And we cry holy, holy, holy,
And we cry holy, holy, holy is the Lamb.

 

Blessed Be Your Name      LISTEN      top
Matt Redman, Beth Redman

Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful,
Where Your streams of abundance flow,
Blessed be Your name.
And blessed be Your name when I'm found in the desert place,
Though I walk through the wilderness,
Blessed be Your name.

Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise,
And when the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say:

Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your name.
Blessed be the name of the Lord,
Blessed be Your glorious name.

Blessed be Your name when the sun's shining down on me,
When the world's "all as it should be",
Blessed be Your name.
And blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering,
Though there's pain in the offering,
Blessed be Your name.

You give and take away,
You give and take away,
My heart will choose to say,
Lord, blessed be Your name.

 

Lord I Lift Your Name On High (live)       LISTEN      top
Rick Founds

(Verse)
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

(Chorus)
You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high

Repeat Verse

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus

Lord, I lift Your name on high...

 

Judas Kiss (live)       LISTEN      top
Bob Hartman
Luke 22:47, 48

I wonder how it makes You feel when the prodigal won't come home
I wonder how it makes You feel when he'd rather be on his own
I wonder what it's like for You when a lamb has gone astray
I wonder what it's like for You when Your children disobey

(chorus)
It must be like another thorn stuck in Your brow
It must be like another close friend's broken vow
It must be like another nail right through Your wrist
It must be just like
Just like Judas' kiss

I wonder how it makes You feel when no one seeks Your face
I wonder how it makes You feel when they give up in the race
I wonder what it's like for You when they willingly disobey
I wonder what it's like for You when they willingly walk away
