Verse 1
A D AI can’t help but wonder if these floorboard creaked the same in ‘42
E F#m Bm EWhen my great grandpa poured his heart and soul into preachin’ the good news
A D AAnd these tattered old red hymn books have caught a tear or two
E F#m Bm E‘Cause it’s hard to sing ’em, just as I am, without the spirit movin’ you
Bm D EIf those altars at the front could testify I know they’d say
Bm D EIt never once got old hearing a sinner call his name
 
Chorus
DI know the stained glass never saved a soul
Bm AAnd these pews ain’t on the roll that’s called up yonder
DI know the pulpit’s just a wooden stand
BmBut it’s felt the power of God’s hand
A E/Ab F#mAs His glory filled the place with awe and wonder
E Bm EI know it’s just a building, plain and simple white
Bm E ABut it’s the building where Jesus changed my life

Verse 2
A D AIt never claimed to be the biggest, nobody ever called it cool
E F#m Bm EBut it’s where my mama met my daddy at vacation bible school
A D AIt’s in the picture-perfect dream of a thousand glowin’ brides
E F#m Bm EIt’s heard the weeping as loved ones laid to rest with sad goodbyes
 
Chorus
DAnd I know the stained glass never saved a soul
Bm AAnd these pews ain’t on the roll that’s called up yonder
DI know the pulpit’s just a wooden stand
BmBut it’s felt the power of God’s hand
