Lyrics

Verse 1

There’s a little white church in Georgia
With the steeple still attached
When all those cars drive by it
They don’t know what they just passed
No fancy signs one service time
And 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 why
I am the way I am
It’s the church I grew up in

Verse 2

There’s tear stains in the carpet
Communion in the back
None of us were perfect
But we all tried our best
The mothers' prayers
Still in the air
Of the ones who’ve walked away
The only thing that always 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

Refrain

You're welcome you're welcome
You're welcome here
You're welcome you're welcome
You're welcome here

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

You can try to tell me
That the church isn’t alive today
But I know that it is
And I’ll tell my kids

Chorus 2

There's still healing
In these walls
There’s angels dancing
Down these halls
If it’s 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 I grew up in

Refrain

You're welcome you're welcome
You're welcome here

Refrain

You're welcome you're welcome
You're welcome here
You're welcome you're welcome
You're welcome here

Verse 4

You can try to tell me
That the church isn’t alive today
But I know that it is
And I’ll tell my kids

Outro

There is healing
In these walls
There’s angels dancing
Down these halls
If it’s 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 I grew up in
