On Fire! is the tenth studio album of the Christian rock band, Petra. It was released in 1988 by StarSong.
The songs of this album are in the Hard rock category. The lyrics continue the theme of spiritual warfare[2] featured in their previous efforts, with metaphors making reference to military subtexts ("Mine Field", "Defector"). The band also tackles issues such as homelessness ("Homeless Few") and other personal and social issues.[2]
This is the first album to feature Ronny Cates on bass who would remain with the band until 1995. With his addition to the line-up, the band started their more stable period in terms of line-up. Schlitt, Hartman, Cates, Lawry and Weaver would remain together for seven years and six albums.
