5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent worship album, January 21, 2006

Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus is the band's second album devoted entirely to songs of praise and worship. With longtime Petra producers John & Dino Elefante at the helm, Petra Praise 2 is an excellent collection of praise and worship songs. My overall favorite song here is The Holiest Name. I love the vocal harmonies on that track. Some other songs I really enjoyed include Be Of Good Cheer, Ancient of Days, Lord, I Lift Your Name On High, Lovely Lord, and the title track. The CD closes with We Need Jesus, in which John Elefante (former Kansas vocalist) and Lou Gramm (ex-Foreigner vocalist) join Petra frontman John Schlitt (formerly of Head East) on lead vocals. If you're looking to rock out to standard Petra fare, you are likely to be disappointed, but if you are looking for a great contemporary praise and worship CD, give Petra Praise 2: We Need Jesus a try. This is a great worship album!

4.0 out of 5 stars Peaceful Praise, July 1, 2008

Petra's second praise album. The first one "Rock Cries Out" is a classic. This second one is much more peaceful but it isn't bad. The first song "Song of Moses" is maybe the only song in the album I don't like. The next ones "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" and "Be of Good Cheer" are excellent songs. I would say that "Lord I Lift..." is probably the best song in this album. This is a perfect album for balance because Petra's first praise album "Rock Cries Out" was so rocking and upbeat. I think it was natural to make different kind of praise album. It's great to see that there's the word "Lord" or "Jesus" in so many song title. Medley has three good songs (Only by Grace, To Him Who Sits On the Throne, You Are Holy) but usually medleys don't convince me - not this time. Anyway, Petra rocks - although with this album more peaceful. It's maybe the best Christian rock band ever.
