Karaoké The Building Emily Ann Roberts

I can't help but wonder if these floorboards creaked the same in forty-two

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

'Cos 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 building plain and simple white but it's the building 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 building plain and simple white but it's the building where Jesus changed my life

It's where I learned that Jesus hears my prayers

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 building plain and simple white but it's the building where Jesus changed my life

It's the building where Jesus changed my life
