🎸 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
