Letra de 'The Building' de Emily Ann Roberts

I can't help but wonder if these floorboard creaked the same in '42
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
'Cause it's hard to sing 'em, 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 hearing 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 in the picture-perfect dream of a thousand glowin' brides
It's heard the weeping as loved ones 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
And 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
And 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
