  • 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
