The Maren Morris My Church song was released in 2016 as the lead single from her debut major-label album Hero. Singer-songwriter Maren Morris is coming into her own as a performer after cutting her teeth songwriting in Nashville. The Texas-born talent helped pen Tim McGraw’s “Last Turn Home” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Second Wind.” In addition, Morris has shared a stage with an assortment of respected entertainers such as Gary Allan, Pat Green, Radney Foster, Eli Young, and Marty Stuart while on tour.
In 2015, the budding starlet released “My Church” as a digital single, which quickly became a viral hit, generating almost 3 million streams in a little over a month. The Nashville labels took notice, and Morris was snapped up by Sony Music Nashville— the five-song Maren Morris EP featuring “My Church” dropped in November.
The “My Church” Music Video
The music video for “My Church,” directed by Rachel McDonald, perfectly captures the song’s theme of liberation and joy. It follows Morris as she drives through the countryside in a vintage red Mercedes-Benz, stopping along the way to pick up strangers who join in on the fun. The visuals mirror the song’s message—music as a unifying and freeing force.
After much anticipation, we have the official “My Church” music video. The lyrics touch upon the close connection between music, driving, and renewing your spirit. Sometimes your car and the wide open road is the best place to clear your head…
Maren Morris My Church Music Video
Written by Maren Morris and Busbee, “My Church” captures the uplifting and almost religious experience of driving down the highway with the radio turned up. Instead of a traditional place of worship, Morris finds her sanctuary in the songs of legendary artists like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams. The track resonates with anyone who has ever found comfort, freedom, and redemption through music. In interviews, Morris has explained that the song was inspired by the idea that music, much like a church, offers a place of healing and joy.
Maren Morris My Church Lyrics
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
