[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]
Oh, I've been through some faith-shaking hard times, yeah
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 a heart-stirring, spirit-moving Sunday sermons

[Post-Chorus]
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
The devil gonna 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"? (Amen)
We've all seen the proof
He makes all things new
[Pre-Chorus]
Even all those faith-shaking hard times, yeah
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 a heart-stirring, spirit-moving Sunday sermons

[Post-Chorus]
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
(Oh-oh, those Sunday sermons)

[Bridge]
Jesus loves me, this I know (This I know)
For the Bible tells me so
Jesus loves me, ain't no doubt (Ain't no doubt)
So I'm gonna keep on talking 'bout
(Oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Chorus]
Every one of those Sunday sermons, every time that choir would sing (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
[Post-Chorus]
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
(But you can't take the church out of me, yeah)
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me

[Outro]
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
The devil gonna try and take me out of that church
But you can't take the church out of me
