Lyrics

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


 


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


 


There’s tear stains in the carpet


Communion in the back


No one there was perfect, but we all tried our best


Mothers' prayers still in the air for the ones who’ve walked away


The only thing that always kept us was God’s grace


 


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


You can try to tell me that the church isn’t alive today


But I know it is


So I’ll tell my kids


 


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
