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 CD and LP 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 on the CD version in a couple of places as compared to the LP version, particularly before the last song where a minute or so has been cut out and several minutes newly added (taken from the cassette version).
• The UK vinyl release omits the talking between "Godpleaser" and "It Is Finished" completely.
