[Intro] G Am G [Verse] G Am G I can't help but wonder if these floorboard creaked C G the same in '42 D Em When my great grandpa his heart Am7 and soul into preachin' D the good news G Am G And these tattered old red hymn C G books have caught a tear or two D 'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, Em just as I am, without the Am7 Dsus4 D spirit movin' you
Am7 G C
If those altars at the front
G D
could testify I know they'd say
Am7 G C G
It never once got old hearing
D
a sinner call His name
[Chorus]
C
I know the stained glass
never saved a soul
Am7
And these pews ain't on the
G
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
But it's where my mama met my
Em Am7 D
daddy at vacation bible school
G Am
It's been the picture-perfect
G C G
dream of a thousand glowin' brides
D Em
It's heard the weeping as the loved
Am7
ones laid to rest
D
with sad goodbyes
