The Building

I can't help but wonder if these floorboards creaked
 The same in '42
 When my great grandpa poured his heart and soul
 Into preachin' the good news
 And these tattered, old, red hymn books
 Have caught a tear or two
 'Cause it's hard to sing just as I am
 Without the spirit movin' you
 If those altars at the front could testify, I know they'd say
 It never once got old hearin' a sinner call His name
 I know the stained glass never saved a soul
 And these pews ain't on the roll that's called up yonder
 I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
 But it's felt the power of God's hand
 As His glory filled the place with awe and wonder
 I know it's just a buildin', plain and simple white
 But it's the buildin' where Jesus changed my life
 It never claimed to be the biggest
 Nobody ever called it cool
 But it's where my mama met my daddy
 At Vacation Bible School
 It's been the picture-perfect dream
 Of a thousand glowin' brides
 It's heard the weepin' as a loved one's
 Laid to rest with sad goodbyes
 And I know the stained glass never saved a soul
 And these pews ain't on the roll that's called up yonder
 I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
 But it's felt the power of God's hand
 As His glory filled the place with awe and wonder
 I know it's just a buildin', plain and simple white
 But it's the buildin' where Jesus changed my life
 It's where I learned that Jesus hears my prayers
 And he's walkin' with me everywhere
 And no matter what I've done, I know I'm loved
 I'm always loved
 I know it won't stand here forever
 But I'll sure miss it when it's gone
 And I'll be forever grateful
 To call that church my home
 I know the stained glass never saved a soul
 And these pews ain't on the roll that's called up yonder
 I know the pulpit's just a wooden stand
 But it's felt the power of God's hand
 As His glory filled the place with awe and wonder
 I know it's just a buildin', plain and simple white
 But it's the buildin' where Jesus changed my life
