Raise Him Up Songtext / Lyric

when I first met his momma

she was just 19

she couldn't say for certain who the father was

I have known him every since he was a pup

and I'm gonna raise him up



If you never knew your daddy

like I never knew mine

it feels like everybody knows your fatherless

this boy may not be blood of my blood

but I'm gonna raise him up



I'll provide for him

walk beside of him

I am strong enough

cause its time he knew

what a son can do

with a fathers love

he can change the world






ya'll may have to look at joseph

a couple thousand years ago

when he held a newborn baby he named jesus

he said he may not be blood of my blood

still I'm gonna raise him up



I'll provide for him

walk beside of him

I am strong enough

I will show him too

what a son can do

with a fathers love

and he will change the world



33 years later

when the son was in his grave

broken and abandoned by a world he came to save

his real dad said he's

blood of my blood

and I'm gonna raise him up



I'll provide for you

walk beside of you

I am strong enough

I have seen from you

what a son can do

with a fathers love

one man changed the world

and he can change your world

but you gotta raise him up

raise him up
