My Church
Maren Morris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've cussed on a Sunday
I've cheated and I've lied
I've fallen down from grace
A few too many times
But I find holy redemption
When I put this car in drive
Roll the windows down and turn up the dial
Can I get a hallelujah
Can I get an amen
Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya
When I play the highway FM
I find my soul revival
Singing every single verse
Yeah I guess that's my church

When Hank brings the sermon
And Cash leads the choir
It gets my cold cold heart burning
Hotter than a ring of fire
When this wonderful world gets heavy
And I need to find my escape
I just keep the wheels rolling, radio scrolling
'Til my sins wash away

Can I get a hallelujah
Can I get an amen
Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya
When I play the highway FM
I find my soul revival
Singing every single verse
Yeah I guess that's my church

Can I get a hallelujah
Can I get an amen
Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya
When I play the highway FM
I find my soul revival
Singing every single verse
Yeah I guess that's my church

Hey, can I get a hallelujah
Can I get an amen
Feels like the Holy Ghost running through ya
When I play the highway FM
I find my soul revival
Singing every single verse
Yeah I guess that's my church




Yeah I guess that's my church
Yeah I guess that's my church

She sings along to every verse and feels the Holy Ghost running through her, giving her a soul revival. The road is her sanctuary, and her radio becomes her minister, leading her to a state of euphoria and peace. The singer finds her sense of belonging, purpose, and community in country music alone. Ultimately "My Church" is not only a love letter to country music but a reflection on the profound ways music can serve to heal and uplift those who listen.

My Dad used to say that as he sat on back porch and watched what he had planted grow, he was in God's church!

@tomjack3433

The outdoors is my church. God hears me just fine. One does not need to be in a church building to communicate with God.

@rhondaboncutter5812

@@tomjack3433 That is how my Dad felt! Miss him so much!

@MichaelSmith-jw8qw

religion is one of the toughest things to sing about and not offend people, Maren has done a great job balancing taste without being offensive

@yesiwork372

agreed

@MichaelSmith-jw8qw

I have no idea what you are talking about. Clearly you are in the wrong forum.

@MichaelSmith-jw8qw

guess that clears that up--I'm losing any sleep over it.

This song, is great. If you already go to church, gives you freedom from legalism. If your church is wherever you are at, Jesus shows up. Thanks for this song it's a gift.
