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 in the carpet
    
Communion in the back
 
None 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 kept us
     
Was God’s grace
REPEAT CHORUS
Interlude
|  /  / |  /  / |  /  |
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'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
       
‘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
REPEAT BRIDGE 2
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
       
‘Cause Jesus loves it
If you wanna know
           
Where my history began
       
If you wanna know
              
Why we are the way we are
                                
It’s the church that we're all in
