Lyrics

Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And they spin around the room with me
And they never get to You
There are those who won't believe
What they can't see with their eyes
I suppose I've been guilty of that
Myself from time to time
But I'll believe that You're listening
And I'll believe that You're interested
And I'll believe I'm forgiven
For every vain repetition
Every selfish ambition
Every foolish petition You endure
Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And they spin around the room with me
And they never get to You
And though my head is reeling
I will still go on believing
They'll fly like holy missiles
And tear a hole right through the roof
My one wish is to break through
When I try to get to You
My one fear is a deaf ear
Please tell me it ain't true
Yeah, but I'll believe You can hear me
And I'll believe You'll draw near to me
And I'll believe that You're bending
To me when I can't rise up
And my flesh won't seem to wise up
To the fact that You are everything I need
You're everything I need
I'll believe that You're listening
And I'll believe that You're interested
And I'll believe I'm forgiven
For every vain repetition
Every selfish ambition
For foolish petition You endure
Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And they spin around the room with me
And they never get to You
And though my head is reeling
I will still go on believing
They'll fly like holy missiles
And tear a hole right through the roof
And though I get the feeling
I will still go on believing
Sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
And though my head is reeling
I will still go on believing
Yes, sometimes I get the feeling
My prayers bounce right off the ceiling
I will still go on believing
Lord, I'll still go on believing
