*Our new album "Father, A Moment With You" is out now! Available on your favorite streaming platform and our website petersenband.com/merch* đ
This is an original song written by Katie, Emmett, Julianne, and our friend, John Meyer. John came up with the idea and thought it would be a fun song to write with us. We think it's very fitting for these days and a great reminder to keep praying through every circumstance.
This is the first song we have ever played with THREE KEY CHANGES! My brain hurts after we make the final shift to E for the last chorus haha. Also, how about that bass walk! Get it, Mama!

âșLYRICS - Gonna Keep Prayin'
I can see it everywhere
Feel the anger, taste the fear
Every time I watch the evening news
Shadows fall, the earth will shake
But if we're gonna stay awake
Children, there's just one thing left to do
I'm gonna keep on prayin'
I'm gonna keep on singin'
I'm gonna keep on praising the Lord
Even unto the end of the world
Daniel heard the king's decree
But Daniel got down on his knees
Talkin' to the Lord three times a day
Thrown into the lion's den
But come the morning they were friends
And as the king drew near, he heard him say
"I'm gonna keep on prayin'
I'm gonna keep on singin'
I'm gonna keep on praising the Lord
Even unto the end of the world"
Jesus said the trials will come
Before we reach our heavenly home
He preached about the fire and the sword
Jesus said, "Don't be afraid
I'll be with you till the end of days
Even unto the end of the world"
I'm gonna keep on prayin'
I'm gonna keep on singin'
I'm gonna keep on praising the Lord
Even unto the end of the world
I'm gonna keep on walkin'
I'm gonna keep on talkin'
I'm gonna quit my doubtin'
I'm gonna keep on shoutin'
I'm gonna tell the story
I'm gonna give Him glory
I'm gonna keep on singin'
Keep them joy bells ringin'
I'm gonna keep on praising the Lord
Even unto the end of the world
I'm gonna keep on prayin'
I'm gonna keep on singin'
I'm gonna keep on praising the Lord
Even unto the end of the world
