Petra's song 'Sight Unseen' encourages listeners to trust in God without physical proof, emphasizing that faith, not sight, is the foundation of belief. The lyrics reflect on the struggle of relying on senses and the shift to believing in the unseen, referencing Hebrews 11:6. The song highlights that faith opens the door to understanding God's love, demonstrated through Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. It delivers a message of hope and assurance that believing leads to seeing, and that the evidence of creation points to a Creator. The song is a classic rock gospel piece that calls for a leap of faith.

[Based on Hebrews 11:6]
For so long I was depending upon
My senses and fences, I tried to ride on
And trusting in things that can never be seen
Was always a crutch on which others must lean
Thinking if I could see I would believe
Then somebody said believe and you will see
Sight unseen, sight unseen
You have to take it sight unseen
Blinded by the darkness only faith can come between
Sight unseen, sight unseen
Evidence built into every design
Led to conviction between every line
Faith is the key that can open the veil
To Love incarnated and pierced with a nail
Listen my friend, have I got news for you
The nails in His hands and feet were meant for you
