🎸 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
