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

Chorus-

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 You're bending to me

When I can't rise up and my flesh don'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

Every foolish petition You endure

Chorus
