[Verse 1] Back row, cracked book Palm on the ledger line Hair in a clip, calm as rain Called my name right on time Chalk dust on your sleeve Red pen in your hand You knew how to make a wild kid Sit still and understand [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Bend your knees Then lift your eyes" You made that old room feel Like a door to the sky And I swear I still hear That soft, steady tone When the week gets too loud And I feel alone [Chorus] Sunday School Teacher You got me through Sunday School Teacher I still lean on you You taught me grace When the world got rough Sunday School Teacher That was enough (that was enough) [Verse 2] Bible tab worn thin Coffee in a paper cup You’d pass the milk and crackers Then you’d build us back up Paper crowns and flannel boards Kids with muddy shoes You saw a little spark in me And you fed that fuse [Pre-Chorus] You said, "Truth stays true Even when we slip" You’d pull us close with a story And a firm hand grip Now when my days get heavy And my faith runs low I take one look back there And I start to know [Chorus] Sunday School Teacher You got me through Sunday School Teacher I still lean on you You taught me grace When the world got rough Sunday School Teacher That was enough (that was enough) [Bridge] Maybe I’m grown now But I’m still that kid With a heart all open And a pile of sins If I make it home If I make it right I’ll thank you in the quiet For that Sunday light [Final Chorus] Sunday School Teacher You got me through Sunday School Teacher I still lean on you You taught me grace When the world got rough Sunday School Teacher That was enough (that was enough)
