He always wore those worn out flip-flops Spent hours in his Daddy's workshop he loved being on the water Fishing with His friends He always listened to the old folks When they'd tell stories and crack jokes Didn't talk back to his Mama When she got onto Him
Oh, that's just the way He was raised Had to finish all His chores 'fore He could go outside and play they always went to church that's were he learned how to pray And that's just the way He was raised
He grew His hair out when He got older Grew it clear down to His shoulders Started hanging with the outcasts When He went off to town Some called Him a troublemaker Even some said a lawbreaker No matter how they talked about Him He never put nobody down
'Cause that's just the way He was raised When people start to gossip, He'd just walk away He always loved his neighbor no matter what they'd say Oh, that's just the way He was raised
On a cross, on a hill That longhaired boy was killed All our sins washed away When He walked out of that grave
Oh, that's just the way He was raised there's no way we can measure The sacrifice He made He knew He had to die For our debt to be paid Oh, that's just the way He was raised
It took the hand of God to roll the stone away And that's just the way He was raised Yeah, that's just the way He was raised
