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
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 still in the carpet
Communion in the back
And none of us were perfect
But we all tried our best
Mothers' prayers still in the air
The ones who’ve walked away
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 1

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

Bridge 2

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

Chorus 2

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

Bridge 2

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

Chorus 2

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 our history began
If you wanna know
Why we are the way we are
It’s the church that we're all in
