One thing I've noticed about Stryper...

That they now almost as many original songs released since they have been together since 2003 as they did the first time they were a band from 1983-1992...

The Yellow and Black Attack/Winter Wonder Land 8 (Including My Love I'll Always Show, excluding Winter Wonderland)
Soldiers Under Command 9 (Depending if the cover of Battle Hymn should be included)
To Hell With The Devil 11
In God We Trust 10
Against the Law 10 (Depending if the cover of Shining Star should be included)
Can't Stop The Rock 2 Unreleased songs
Total of 50 songs

7: Best of 2 Unreleased songs
Reborn 9 songs (excluding IGWT rerecord and Michael Sweet's cover Rain, including 10000 years where the arrangements are different)
Murder By Pride 10 (excluding the Boston cover Piece of Mind and My Love I'll Always Show which was already included)
The Covering 1 (excluding the covers)
Second Coming 2 (excluding the rerecords)
No More Hell to Pay 11 (excluding Jesus is Just Alright)
Fallen 11 (excluding After Forever)
Total of 46 songs

I didn't include their own covers/rerecords and covers of other bands, even though a lot of time was used in recording these songs and some rerecords and covers are some of my favorite songs. Including a rerecord or cover is subjective and it would depend on how different from the original it is. Over all, Stryper has around 100 songs. Also, they probably has songs in their archives that are completed but haven't been released to the public which may be released in the future. An example is Marching Into Battle which was written back in the early days and finally released in the No More Hell to Pay album.
