Never Say Dinosaur is a tribute album dedicated to legendary Christian rock band Petra. The album includes 12 revisions and re-imaginings of classic Petra songs performed by some of the most renowned artists of the Christian music scene.

The album title is a pun on Petra's "age", by rejecting comparisons of the band with extinct dinosaurs, thus "Never say dinosaur". It is also a pun on the title of Petra's fourth studio album Never Say Die.

The album was released by Star Song Records in 1996. They worked with the band during most of the 80s through part of the band's most successful tenure.

Hokus Pick wrote a song for this project, a cover of the Petra song "ADONAI" but it was left off the release of Never Say Dinosaur. It was, however, released on the HP project "B-Sides" (for a download, see: http://www.emp3world.com/mp3/78955/Hokus%20Pick/Adonai, and here for a track listing of B-Sides: http://musicvault.firestream.net/index.php?go=showitem&item_id=5014&cat_id=2071)
