Raise Him Up

Tom: D

A                      A/C# 
When I first met his momma, she was just 19 
A7                               G      D 
Couldn't say for certain who the father was 
Bm                                  Esus   E 
But I have known him since he was a pup 
              D         A    D  A 
And I'm gonna raise him up 
       A                          A/C# 
If you never knew your daddy like I never knew mine 
   A7                                G     D 
It feels like everybody knows you're fatherless 
     Bm                         Esus    E 
This boy may not be blood of my blood 
              D         A 
But I'm gonna raise him up

        D                    D/A               A 
I'll provide for him, walk beside of him, I am strong enough  
           D                   D/A               A 
Cause it's time he knew what a son can do with a father's love 
E 
He can change the world

You 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 
 
Chorus 
 
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 
 
 
Chorus 
 
And he can change your world 
But you gotta raise him up 
Raise him up
