Petra

Petra (Arabic: البترا, Al-Batrāʾ; Ancient Greek: Πέτρα), originally known as Raqmu to the Nabataeans, is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system. Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.

Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Arab Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Jebel al-Madhbah (identified by some as the biblical Mount Hor) in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

The site remained unknown to the western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. It was described as "a rose-red city half as old as time" in a Newdigate Prize-winning poem by John William Burgon. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage". Petra was named amongst the New7Wonders of the World in 2007 and was also chosen by the Smithsonian Magazine as one of the "28 Places to See Before You Die".

    Somebody's Gonna Praise His Name

    by: Petra

    Words and music by Bob Hartman
    Based on Luke 19:40, Psalm 69:34, 148:9
    Somebody's gonna praise His name
    Somebody's gonna call Him Lord
    It'll either be you and me
    Or it's gonna be a rock or tree
    Somebody, somewhere is gonna praise His name
    Jesus said that it couldn't be stopped
    Jesus said that it had to be heard
    His creation will praise Him
    Jesus said we could be assured
    If we all maintain our silence
    Even stones will cry out so loud
    His creation will praise Him
    All alone or in a crowd
    In the end every tongue will confess
    Every knee will eventually bow
    His creation will praise Him
    It's so easy to go for it now
    And it's gonna be me
    It's gonna be me
    Somebody's gonna praise Him
    And it's gonna be me
    Lord I lift my voice to You
    And I magnify Your name
    You are Alpha and Omega
    You are everyday the same
    As long as I draw breath my lips will praise You
    As long as I have strength I want to praise Your name
