the church - joseph habedank lyrics

i’ve heard it said, the church is not a building
i guess it’s true, it’s only brick and stone
but there’s one that changed my life
off highway 35
and to this day, that place still feels like home

there’s a preacher who’s been there for 40 years
preaching for the lord and to the lost
i know those wooden pews
i’ve walked the aisle a time or two
and, oh, the things i’ve felt inside those walls

it’s where i learned to pray
and sing “amazing grace”
whеn they said amen, i didn’t wanna leavе
and even to this day
i still read the old king james
it’s how i learned to quote john 3:16
though i packed up and moved to tennessee
i can’t get that church out of me

we went every time the doors were open
wednesday, sunday, sometimes tuesday too
mama played piano
while i sat on the front row
and i met jesus right there in that pew
it’s where i learned to pray
and sing “amazing grace”
when they said amen, i didn’t wanna leave
and even to this day
i still read the old king james
it’s how i learned to quote john 3:16
though i packed up and moved to tennessee
i can’t get that church out of me

oh, i wonder if those people
underneath that steeple
know the mark that they have left on me
oh, the man i am today
still loves that sacred place
my roots are planted in that memory

of where i learned to pray
and sing “amazing grace”
when they said amen, i didn’t wanna leave
and even to this day
i still read the old king james
it’s how i learned to quote john 3:16
though i packed up and i moved to tennessee
i can’t get that church out of me
i hope i never get that church out of me
