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

                 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

It never claimed to be the biggest, nobody ever called it cool
                             B                    G#m             Cm                 B

I know it won’t stand here forever
