Backstory:

I showed up a little early and wrote this idea while I was waiting on current CCM star Ben Fuller to arrive for a co-write!

GIRL IN CHURCH

(VERSE)
I was sittin' at the end of a pew one Sunday morning
Trying to pray away my sins from the night before
Asking for salvation from a life headed nowhere
Beggin' God to open up a brand new door
 
(VERSE)
Bout then I felt a tap on my shoulder
Girl smiled and took a seat next to me
Our eyes locked for a moment that seemed like an hour
Till the music brought us both to our feet
 
(CHORUS)
And that girl in church sang like an angel
And when she hit the chorus of Amazing Grace
I felt like I'd been lifted straight up to heaven
And blessed with a power like I'd been saved
No, I'd never heard nothing on this earth
Like that girl in church
 
(VERSE)
I gathered myself as the preacher spoke 
But, I couldn't hide the goose bumps on my skin
I tried hard not to stare at her long golden hair
While her sweet perfume was makin' my head spin
 
(CHORUS)

Yeah...

(BRIDGE)
Now, don't tell me that God don't answer prayers
Cause for two years ev'ry Sunday we've been holdin' hands right there
 
(BREAKDOWN CHORUS)
And that girl in church sings like an angel
And when she hits the chorus of Amazing Grace
I still feel like I've been lifted straight up to heaven
And blessed with a power like I've been saved
No, I've never heard nothing on this earth
Like my girl in church
Yeah, that's my girl in church

(OUTRO)
Oh, I'm so glad I met that girl in church
Oh yeah, that girl in church
