WHEN I FIRST MET HIS MAMA, SHE WAS JUST 19

.COULDN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN WHO THE FATHER WAS

BUT I HAVE KNOWN HIM 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 

YOU'RE 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 IT'S TIME HE KNEW 

WHAT A SON CAN DO

 WITH A FATHER'S LOVE



HE COULD CHANGE THE WORLD



YOU ONLY HAVE TO LOOK AT JOSEPH 

A COUPLE THOUSAND YEARS AGO

HE HELD A NEWBORN BABY HE NAMED JESUS

HE SAID “HE MAY NOT BE BLOOD OF BY BLOOD

 STILL I'M GONNA RAISE HIM UP 



I WILL PROVIDE FOR HIM

 WALK BESIDE OF HIM 

I AM STRONG ENOUGH

I WILL SHOW HIM TOO 

WHAT A SON CAN DO 

WITH A FATHER'S 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 MINE, 

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 FATHER'S LOVE



ONE MAN CHANGED THE WORLD AND HE CAN CHANGE YOUR WORLD



BUT YOU GOTTA RAISE HIM UP

RAISE HIM UP
