[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 And these tattered old red
G C G
hymn books have caught a tear or two D Em 'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, just as
Am7 Dsus4 D
I am, 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 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 Em But it's where my mama met my daddy
Am7 D
at vacation bible school G Am It's been the picture-perfect
G C G
dream of a thousand glowin' brides D It's heard the weeping
Em
as the loved ones laid
Am7 D
to rest with sad goodbyes [Chorus] C And I know the stained glass
never saved a soul Am7 And these pews ain't on
G
the roll that's called 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 Am7 I know it's just a building,
Dsus4 D
plain and simple white Am7 But it's the building where
D 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 And no matter what I've done
A
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 on the roll
G
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
D Em
where Jesus changed my life [Outro] Am It's the building where
D G
Jesus changed my life
