‘Cause it’s hard to sing ’em, just as I am, without the spirit movin’ you
      C minorCm         FF          BB
If those altars at the front could testify I know they’d say
   C minorCm          FF         BB
It never once got old hearing a sinner call his name

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