[Verse 1]
It ain't always on a Sunday
The desperate soul comes running down the aisle
Sometimes the invitation is a whispered prayer, "I'm barely getting by"
It don't take a white washed steeple to make a holy moment
You just need a heart that's willing and wide open
[Chorus]
If I just speak Your name
The church bells ring and the choir starts to sing
Grace falls down on sinners just like me
In the darkest night, I can feel the light shining in the stain glass story
Don't need four walls around me, 'cause if You are there it's a sanctuary
[Verse 2]
Only You can meet the lonely
And turn this prison cell to holy ground
'Cause You don't mind rock bottom
If that's where all the prodigals are found
Oh, You can turn it all around
[Chorus]
If I just speak Your name
The church bells ring and the choir starts to sing
Grace falls down on sinners just like me
In the darkest night, I can feel the light shining in the stain glass story
Don't need four walls around me, 'cause if You are there it's a sanctuary
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, a sanctuary
Oh
[Bridge]
It don't take a white washed steeple to make a holy moment
You just need a heart that's willing and wide open
And there's no such thing as too far gone
It's been too late, it's been too long
You'll make a way even when it's been three days
[Chorus]
If I just speak your name
The church bells ring and the choir starts to sing
Grace falls down on sinners just like me
In the darkest night, I can feel the light shining in the stain glass story
Don't need four walls around me, 'cause if You are there it's a sanctuary
[Outro]
Oh, a sanctuary
Oh, a sanctuary
Oh
Don't need four walls around me, 'cause if You are there it's a sanctuary
