If My Prayers Fell On Deaf Ears

It seems that heartache's overtaken the good times
And I'm here to ask some prayers for a friend
I'm not lying for I'm a believer
But I'm not sure where I'll go in the end

Because I come here giving thanks too little
For all my blessings to my knees I should fall
A million times I've said just this one time
Yet when I need help You're the first one I call

I wouldn't blame you if my prayers fell on deaf ears
If all is going well we may not talk for years
I hope You see that I'm honest, and also sincere
But I wouldn't blame You if my prayers fell on deaf ears

I'm a sinner there's no doubt about it
Of 10 commandments I've broken most of them
I'm fast to ask You for Your help
Though most times You answer again

I've fell from grace and I dread to face
My judgement for the secrets you see
Cause more times than not You've been my rock
You don't hear thanks You just hear my pleas

So I wouldn't blame you if my prayers fell on deaf ears
If all is going well we may not talk for years
I hope You see I'm honest, and also sincere
But I wouldn't blame You if my prayers fell on deaf ears


To all of my friend let's be clear 
I really care
But my prayers may fall on deaf ears
