                         A                                                      D            A
I can’t help but wonder if these floorboard creaked the same in ‘42
                          E              F#m                          Bm                          E
When my great grandpa his heart and soul into preachin’ the good news
                A                                                  D                     A
And these tattered old red hymn books have caught a tear or two
                 E                             F#m                            Bm                 E
‘Cause it’s hard to sing ’em, just as I am, without the spirit movin’ you
            Bm                 D                    E
If those altars at the front could testify I know they’d say
     Bm                    D                  E
It never once got old hearing a sinner call his name

Chorus
                   D
I know the stained glass never saved a soul
                 Bm                                       A
And these pews ain’t on the roll that’s called up yonder
                  D
I know the pulpit’s just a wooden stand
            Bm
But it’s felt the power of God’s hand
            A                  E/Ab                        F#m
As His glory filled the place with awe and wonder
      E                    Bm                                    E
I know it’s just a building, plain and simple white
                  Bm                   E                         A
But it’s the building where Jesus changed my life

It never claimed to be the biggest, nobody ever called it cool
                             E                    F#m             Bm                 E
But it’s where my mama met my daddy at vacation bible school
                 A                                     D                        A
It’s in the picture-perfect dream of a thousand glowin’ brides
                       E              F#m                       Bm                          E

As His glory filled the place with awe and wonder

I know it’s just a building, plain and simple white
                     Bm                 E                         A

And he’s walkin’ with me everywhere
           Esus4                                            B/Eb
And no matter what I’ve done I know I’m loved
     Bm               E
I’m always loved
                A
I know it won’t stand here forever
                     D                      A
And I’ll sure miss it when it’s gone
           E                F#m                    Bm            E                 A
And I’ll be forever grateful to have called that church my home
