Verse 1
             B                      F      B
I can’t help but wonder if these floorboard creaked the same in ‘42
             B       G#m             Cm         B
When my great grandpa his heart and soul into preachin’ the good news
        B                         F        B
And these tattered old red hymn books have caught a tear or two
         B               G#m              Cm      B
‘Cause it’s hard to sing ’em, just as I am, without the spirit movin’ you
      Cm         F          B
If those altars at the front could testify I know they’d say
   Cm          F         B
It never once got old hearing a sinner call his name

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

It never claimed to be the biggest, nobody ever called it cool
               B          G#m       Cm         B
But it’s where my mama met my daddy at vacation bible school
         B                   F            B
It’s in the picture-perfect dream of a thousand glowin’ brides
            B       G#m            Cm      B
It’s heard the weeping as loved ones laid to rest with sad goodbyes

And I’ll be forever grateful to have called that church my home
