I can't help but wonder
if these floorboard creaked
C G
the same in '42
D Em
When my great grandpa his heart and
Am7 D
soul into preachin' the good news
G Am G
And these tattered old red hymn books
C G
have caught a tear or two
D Em
'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, just as I am,
Am7 Dsus4 D
without the spirit movin' you
Am7 G C
If those altars at the front
G D
could testify I know they'd say
Am7 G C
It never once got old
G D
hearing a sinner call His name
[Chorus]
C
I know the stained glass
never saved a soul
Am7
And these pews ain't on
G
the roll that's caaalled up yonder
C
I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
G D
As His glory filled the place
Em7
with awe and wonder
Em Am7
I know it's just a building,
Dsus4 D
plain and simple white
Am7
But it's the building where
D7 G Am G
Jesus changed my life
[Verse]
G
It never claimed to be the biggest,
C G
nobody ever called it cool
D Em
But it's where my mama met my daddy
Am7 D
at vacation bible school
G Am G
It's been the picture-perfect dream
C G
of a thousand glowin' brides
D
It's heard the weeping as
Em Am7
the loved ones laid to rest
D
with sad goodbyes
[Chorus]
C
I know the stained glass
never saved a soul
Am7
And these pews ain't on
G
the roll that's caaalled up yonder
C
I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
G D
As His glory filled the place
Em7
with awe and wonder
Em Am7
I know it's just a building,
Dsus4 D
plain and simple white
Am7
But it's the building where
D7 G Am G
Jesus changed my life
[Bridge]
C Em
It's where I learned that
Jesus hears my prayers
B
And he's walkin' with me everywhere
D G A
And no matter what I've done I know I'm loved
Am7 Am D
I'm always loved
G Am G
I know it won't stand here forever
C G
But I'll sure miss it when it's gone
D Em
And I'll be forever grateful
Am C G
To call that church my home
[Chorus]
C
I know the stained glass
never saved a soul
Am
And these pews ain't
G
on the roll that's calleeeed up yonder
C
I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
Am7
But it's felt the power of God's hand
G D
As His glory filled the place
Em
with awe and wonder
D Am
I know it's just a building,
Dsus4 D
plain and simple white
Am7
But it's the building where
D Em
Jesus changed my life
[Outro]
Am
It's the building where
D G
Jesus changed my life
[Outro]
