[@JeffRoberts-jx2wl]

I know I am partial, but I don't know a more powerful song about growing up in church and the power of God experienced in sacred spaces. Beautiful Emily.

[@claireboyle7151]

Beautiful song and voice!

[@susanatkinson9969]

I agree

[@zeno7386]

AMEN! THIS SONG HAS TOUCHED MY HEART SO MUCH THANK YOU EMILY 👍🏼❤️🙏

[@bigjohn911]

Amen. Touch of the Lord on this song. I needed this. Thank You for the Blessing 🙏.

[@PrairieeGirl]

It's a truly powerful song. Just beautiful ❤

[@2legit2Kwit]

I just went to Blake Shelton’s concert and Emily opened for him and sang this song. I’ve never heard of her, nor had heard this song. I wept like a child up in the stands…. Never was moved as much during a song in all my life…. Thank you for cracking my egg and getting me to feel again…. This song is sent from God. Thank you….

[@debbiehorn5364]

Beautiful song !

[@NitaRuthSings]

❤❤ agree 100% shes an angel with a message 😢

[@jna4873]

The world needs more songs like this!

[@lisanolen4957]

This is one of the most powerful Christian song I have heard in years. I hope she finally gets the recognition she deserves. This is a beautiful heartfelt song. ❤

[@chf9514]

As a girl who was born into the church and have stayed all my life, I practically cut my teeth on the backs of wooden pews, took naps under those pews as a small child, knelt and prayed, and learned to wait on God and hear His loving voice speak to my heart there. Now as a worship leader and church musician, I love to hear songs that are pure and from the heart. I don’t know when I’ve heard a sweeter song! 🎶♥️

[@mckeruzaapaugari]

I cut my teeth on backs of pews too lol

[@marmac2768]

What a beautiful song!! For me, it was the Westside Missionary Baptist Church in Auburndale, Florida that was my home church many years ago. The old church is still there and it's had some rough times, but it's the place where I not only was saved and baptized, but where I gave my life to preach the Gospel and where I preached my first sermon on January 2nd, 1972. I was ordained there in 1982 and sent out by that church to do mission work. But, when I go home on a Sunday, I go to that old building and remember by Dad, Mom and Sister who are all with the Lord now.

[@hollycadam3455]

Our congregation just experienced the sale of our church building. My dads funeral service was the last one held there 6 months ago. My mind wanders over the dear souls that departed and were eulogized there. Baptisms in Jesus name and souls that were filled with the Holy Ghost...testimonies about the goodness of God and instant healings....its so hard to say goodbye to a building...in the flesh....BUT praise God were are told that Jesus is not housed in a building. We can experience him ANYWHERE!!! IM so thankful that Jesus is a 24/7 help in the time of need.

[@cjhandley1660]

It’s been a long time since a song has made me cry. But let me tell ya this song hit straight in the feels. I wouldn’t be who I am without my church. And I am so thankful for them and for God.

[@thomasfortner6678]

Me too!

[@2legit2Kwit]

Same here!!!

[@mckeruzaapaugari]

This is one of the greatest songs written in modern history…

[@mattbaker5794]

Mrs. Roberts your music is the true meaning of gospel and country. This song lyrics have brought me back to where I need to be. I hope and pray that this song falls on the ears of the right person in the music industry. You deserve the recognition and "up and coming" doesn't give you justice. Blessings!

[@brdwybaby]

I never comment on KZbin. But for this one, I have to! I opened up the KZbin app on my phone and literally asked God to point me to some new beautiful country music to discover. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I came across your song. I’d never heard of you before, but tonight you gained a new fan. Not just because of your amazing voice and lyrical skill, but mostly because of your heart. Thank you for the gift that is this song. God bless you, beautiful sister. Keep spreading the love of Jesus! ❤

[@CharlyReynoldsMusic]

One of the best songs ever written.

[@1...MusicVideo]

[@michelesouthwell5656]

There are few perfect songs. Where the words are eloquent and clever and move you to tears. Where the tune and the vocals are done with great thought and talent. A song that the first ten or more times you listen to it you sob. This is one of those songs. Praise God. Thank you Emily and everyone involved in making this masterpiece. Stay true to Jesus.

[@RonHall-wq8xt]

The church where I started attending at a week old, through most of my adult life, and ministered as a youth pastor was once the world’s largest Sunday School with an attendance of over 8,000. It is scheduled for demolition on March 20. There is much reminiscing among former members and this song is so appropriate at this time. It was a building where Jesus changed thousands of lives.

[@janetsanders6964]

Hard to listen to this beautiful song without balling. Our church, founded by my father-in-law in 1987, my husband and I had to leave over 2 yrs ago because of the current pastor, a disgrace and phony. We sure didn't want to leave and this song resonates in every possible way. The building prior to our church was a bar and night club. My husband and I served there many years, our children, now grown with children of their own accepted Jesus and was baptized there. Many, many awesome memories, it breaks my heart that we had to leave. When you look at the preacher with disgust, it's time to go. I know it's just a building but 😢...

[@canocano31]

This song highlights the power of Christian love, the power of the holy spirit. Ty Emily 🥰😇

[@10000liverpool]

Man I really hope this beautiful young talented young lady gets the recognition she deserves 🙏 ❤️ she's one of the few real country artists left.

[@Mrs.C3]

I cry every single time. So beautiful.

[@Willie.B76]

I've been accused of lacking emotion, but this made me grit my teeth and tight lipped as it put a lump in my throat...an honestly beautiful ballad

[@stephaniemiller1345]

❤ I saw her sing this song live in Tacoma, Washington last night! What a beautiful, beautiful soul! Thank you Blake Shelton for bringing her along!! And Dustin Lynch was amazing. Thank you for coming to Washington.

[@craigcaudill7254]

I may be wrong, but I think Emily has just released her ‘signature song’. That is probably one of the most powerful songs and one of the most powerful messages I’ve ever heard. If this one doesn’t stop and make you think back….❤

[@dustinlenzo444]

So you in Milwaukee last night ❤! You were amazing, especially to meet all your fans after your set and take pictures with us. You belong in the Christian ✝️ music industry!!! I hope to hear you on the radio!!! God bless you 🙏

[@MsHighHeels1951]

This is well.......Heavenly😢❤✝️❤️

[@francesbrandon7067]

My parents church of 24yrs was closed and and as of yesterday sold; this song has me bawling as each one of us 4 kids grew up in that church. Thank you for making a song that accurately describes how I'm feeling right now.

[@amynapoli5866]

Absolutely beautiful and brilliantly written song

[@JodiHosterman]

I heard this song on Sirius XM Enlighten and thought I was blown away until I saw the video. This is incredible!

[@LorileeGA]

What an amazing song!! It gave me goosebumps when I heard the lyrics, because it’s literally telling my story…my great grandpa was our church’s pastor in 1942, and my mom met my dad at Vacation Bible School.

[@jamesjarrard4462]

She has a beautiful voice and I voted for her when she was on The Voice !!!

[@davidfriar6225]

I absolutely love this song. I can't listen to it without tears running down my face. It's been a while since a new song came alone that really hits home. Like many others who left comments, I grew up in church. I think that's what makes this song so personal.

[@n.d.6430]

Her heart matches the beauty of this song

[@rangerready23]

My granddad was our pastor when I grew up, in a little white country Pentecostal church, so this song hits me right in the memory and in the childhood. Cried like a baby. Well done ma'am.

[@garyhammett671]

I Love this! Thank You Emily! Just a beautiful story set to song! God Bless.

[@prohunterjohn]

This song brought back so many memories 😭

[@mgbge8774]

This song is simply a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing your Church memories and experiences to everyone who listens. God bless you Emily.

[@gusimccrae2522]

WoW! This song took me back to an old white building where my daddy preached. Wood floors, wooden pews & an upright piano that played Amazing Grace, Just As I Am, etc & big pot luck dinners in the basement with all the family, friends & so many who have gone on to be with the Lord. That old white building has been replaced with a modern brick structure but my wonderful memories of that old church can never be replaced. Emily Roberts; Outstanding!!!!

[@zeno7386]

This song means so much to me you will never know how much!! My grandpa helped build the actual church I grew up in New Banklick Baptist Church in Independence KY and my grandma had me there. EVERY Sunday morning Sunday evenings Wednesday nights and drug me with her to visit people vacation Bible school Sunday school and where I was BAPTIZED and it will NEVER be just a building to me!!! Both my grand parents are passed and I miss them anf these days terribly! 😭💔 Thank you for this song! Amen! ❤️🙏❤️🙏🇺🇸

[@studio3121music]

It's "The Building" Alright! It's also "The Rock"! EAR we're listening!!

[@dawndefranco754]

Emily, This song is so beautiful. I love everything about it. The lyricism is absolutely poetic. The Lords hand is all over this. Thank you for glorifying him through the gifts he gave you. I just think God is so sweet to bring this song to my attention- i first started following you because i was researching granny square sweaters- and I’m using your pattern. Love your story and really enjoy your content. God bless you!

[@ritawalton3883]

This is beautiful! Reminds me of our little country church. My grandmother went there, I grew up in the church as did my children. The church has held family weddings and funerals. It will always be dear to me.

[@mikebaxter2520]

Absolutely beautiful ❤

[@lisacalhoun4739]

This song is amazing it sure does hit home My daddy was a pastor we was raised in a little white church, Emily I hope you stay true to your raising & keep singing these gospel songs Thank you so much, this was beautiful!

[@FoodNerds]

It’s tear jerking

[@LouiseBarnes]

That’s probably THE best song I’ve ever heard. Lyrics, composition, voice. I’m still in awe ~ and tears.

[@n.d.6430]

This sound gives me goosebumps! Emily soul is just as beautiful as her song ! I'm so blessed to spend time in Israel waking the Land of Jesus !

[@molotov11235813]

There is a reason that the land a church is built on is called sacred ground.

[@cherylhawes2894]

[@annesfaves9100]

Redwood Country Church for me in Grants Pass, Oregon. I listened to this at the concert in Tacoma, Washington for the first time. It made me choke up a little. Wasn't afraid to show emotion in a huge crowd!

This song reminds me of the church I was raised in my daddy was there for 32 years preaching the KJV Bible so glad to call this church my home church

[@brucec8348]

This voice (and the song's lyrics) literally stopped me in my tracks. Instant goosebumps and eventually my eyes were tearing up, and it wasn't the onions I was prepping. God has blessed this woman with the voice of angels. Message received. Thank you! 😊

[@tanzaniteholly]

[@karenskidmore5652]

[@misterbojangles24]

This song by Emily Ann Roberts is sensational! I would love for her to sing it at one of the award shows because she would bring everyone to tears by her amazing gift of singing. She is amazing as a performer, singer and songwriter. Just beautiful!

[@TexasCountryMusicAssociation]

Wonderful song and talented girl

Tears, tears, & more tears, Emily Ann.

What an unforgettable experience at the Homestead Hall last night! As I expected, I shed many tears while you sang, The Building, for us. Thank you, Emily Ann, for sharing such a beautiful song. PS - Thanks again for signing my pictures.

[@nessawilliam1151]

Beautiful song

[@markduffy1017]

Only one word beautiful song thank you lord God 🙏 ❤❤

[@destineydavison7615]

This reminds me of my great grandfathers church😭lots of my family funerals have been at that church and it’s the first church that I was raised in until my dad started pastoring. Beautiful song and beautiful singing!

[@farrongilley5319]

I was raised to be in church, and like others I strayed away from doing the things God wanted me to do. I hope everyone else has been as fortunate to be able to help others, and especially when someone else couldn’t help themselves or not knowing how to get on their knees, and let God carry U , the way God has always done for me, and I sincerely believe; He carries us ALL! Sincerely Farron Gilley ❤

[@PurePrairie]

Emily deserves 100 million subscribers, I haven't heard such a beautiful voice as hers. This song is absolutely amazing!😍

As always, precious young lady with great song. Powerful.

[@beccanoel5357]

I’m sobbing all over again 😢😢😢

[@RodneyWalls]

If I make it to Heaven and hear the Angels sing and it doesn’t move me as much as this song did I’ll be disappointed. My Grandfather was a Baptist preacher. He told me once when he preached people got so convicted they”ed squeeze the pews in front of them so hard their knuckles turned white. Every word is accurate Emily. No word’s. Tears.

[@stephennelson1687]

IF you make to heaven? You can KNOW you’ll make it Ephesians 2:8,9,10.

[@KATOYSR]
