Verse 1

Seven years old third row pew
John 3:16 something changed in me
Red letters coming off the page
Flooding my heart with amazing grace
I knew then I believed
And those roots run deep

Pre Chorus 1

I been through some
Faith-shaking hard times
But nothing's gonna
Make me forget

Chorus

Every one of those Sunday sermons
Every time that choir would sing
I could hear my Savior calling
Telling me how much He loves me
No matter what the world throws at me
I know His word is true
It all started with heart-stirring
Spirit-moving Sunday sermons

Refrain

Devil gon' try and
Take me out of that church
But you can't
Take the church out of me

Verse 2

Gonna have my worries
Well that's part of life
But then I think of those stories
'Bout what my God can do
He's still moving like He did back then
Born again people can I get an Amen
We've all seen the proof
He makes all things new

Pre Chorus 2

Even all those
Faith-shaking hard times
I never wanna
Stop remembering

Chorus

Every one of those Sunday sermons
Every time that choir would sing
I could hear my Savior calling
Telling me how much He loves me
No matter what the world throws at me
I know His word is true
It all started with heart-stirring
Spirit-moving Sunday sermons

Refrain

Devil gon' try and
Take me out of that church
But you can't
Take the church out of me

Bridge

Jesus loves me
This I know
For the Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me
Ain't no doubt
So I'm gonna keep on
Talking about

Chorus

Every one of those Sunday sermons
Every time that choir would sing
I could hear my Savior calling
Telling me how much He loves me
No matter what the world throws at me
I know I'll make it through
All because of those heart-stirring
Spirit-moving Sunday sermons

Outro

Devil gon' try and
Take me out of that church
But you can't
Take the church out of me
Devil gon' try and
Take me out of that church
But you can't
Take the church out of me
