"The Building" lyrics
"The Building"
I can't help but wonder if these floorboards creaked
The same in '42
When my great grandpa 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
It's the buildin' where Jesus changed my life
