[Verse 1]
G
There’s a little white church in Georgia
D
With the steeple still attached
G
When all those cars drive by
D
They don’t know what they just passed
Bm7 Asus
No fancy signs one service time
G D
And the doors are always unlocked
G Bm7
It’s the first place that I saw
Asus
The hand of God
[Chorus 1]
G D
You couldn’t tell me
Bm7 Asus
There wasn’t healing in those walls
G D
You couldn’t tell me
Bm7 Asus
Angels didn’t walk those halls
D/F# G
On a Wednesday night
D
And Sunday morning
Bm7
We didn’t have much
Asus
But Jesus loved it
Bm7
If you wanna know why
D G
I am the way I am
G D
It’s the church I grew up in
[Interlude]
| Bm7 / Asus / | G / D / | Bm7 / Asus D/F#|
[Verse 2]
G
There’s tear stains in the carpet
D
Communion in the back
G
None there was perfect
D
But we all tried our best
Bm7 Asus
Mothers' prayers still in the air
G D
For the ones who’ve walked away
G Bm7
The only thing that kept us
Asus
Was God’s grace
[Chorus 1]
G D
You couldn’t tell me
Bm7 Asus
There wasn’t healing in those walls
G D
You couldn’t tell me
Bm7 Asus
Angels didn’t walk those halls
D/F# G
On a Wednesday night
D
And Sunday morning
Bm7
We didn’t have much
Asus
But Jesus loved it
Bm7
If you wanna know why
D G
I am the way I am
G D
It’s the church I grew up in
[Interlude]
| Bm7 / Asus / | G / D / | Bm7 / Asus D/F#|
[Bridge 1]
G D
From wedding vows to funerals
Bm7 Asus
The church bells they still ring
G D
It’s where I learned the gospel
Bm7 Asus
And my mom taught me to sing
[Bridge 2]
G A
You can try to tell me
Bm7 D/F# G
That the church isn’t alive today
G
But I know it is
Asus
So I’ll tell my kids
[Chorus 2]
G D Bm7 Asus
There's still healing in these walls
G
There’s angels dancing
D Bm7 Asus
Down these halls
D/F# G
If it’s Wednesday night
D
Or Sunday morning
Bm7
We don’t need much
Asus
‘Cause Jesus loves it
If you wanna know
Bm7 D G
Where my history began
If you wanna know
Bm7 D G
Why I am the way I am
G D
It’s the church I grew up in
[Bridge 2]
G A
You can try to tell me
Bm7 D/F# G
That the church isn’t alive today
G
But I know it is
Asus
So I’ll tell my kids
[Chorus 3]

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
Asus
‘Cause Jesus loves it
If you wanna know

Where my history began
G
If you wanna know
Bm7 D Em7
Why I am the way I am
D
It’s the church I grew up in
