Lyrics

Verse 1

There’s a little white church in Georgia
With the steeple still attached
When all those cars drive by
They don’t know what they just passed
No fancy signs one service time
An the doors are always unlocked
It’s the first place that
I saw the hand of God

Chorus 1

You couldn’t tell me
There wasn’t healing in those walls
You couldn’t tell me
Angels didn’t walk those halls
On a Wednesday night and Sunday morning
We didn’t have much
But Jesus loved it
If you wanna know
Where my history began
It’s the church I grew up in

Verse 2

There’s tear stains in the carpet
Communion in the back
And none of us where perfect
But we all tried our best
The mothers' prayers still in the air
For the ones who’ve walked away
And the only thing that
Kept us was God’s grace

Chorus 1

You couldn’t tell me
There wasn’t healing in those walls
You couldn’t tell me
Angels didn’t walk those halls
On a Wednesday night and Sunday morning
We didn’t have much
But Jesus loved it
If you wanna know
Why I am the way I am
It’s the church I grew up in

Bridge

From wedding vows to funerals
The church bells they still ring
It’s where I learned the gospel
And my mom taught me to sing
And You can try to tell me
The church isn’t alive today
I know that it is
So I’ll tell my kids

Chorus 2

There is still healing in these walls
Still angels dancing down these halls
If it’s a Wednesday night or Sunday morning
We don’t need much ‘cause Jesus loves it
If you wanna know
Where my history began
If you wanna know
Why I am the way I am
It’s the church that I grew up in

Tag

If you wanna know
Why I am the way I am
It’s the church I grew up in
