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

Oh, I been through some faith shaking hard times, yeah
But nothing's gonna make me forget

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

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

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

Even all those faith shaking hard times, yeah
I never wanna stop remembering

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 Sermon

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

Oh-whoa, those Sunday sermons

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 about
Oh, yeah

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

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

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 Writer/s: Anne Wilson, Benjamin Glover, Jeff Sojka
