Track Information

* This is the third Petra album to feature the song "God Gave Rock and Roll to You". The song was written by Russ Ballard and covered by KISS and twice by Petra.
* The song "Hallelujah Chorus" was originally written by George Frideric Handel. It was originally part of a masterpiece known as Messiah.
* Between "Godpleaser" and "It Is Finished" there was a song cut out of the LP & CD versions that only exists on the cassette version. It was an improvised song known as "The Great I Am". This recorded concert was the only time it was ever performed. The cover of the CD version refers to it, advertising a "bonus song" that isn't actually included.
* The talking in between songs is different in places between the LP & CD versions.
