The Way He Was Raised
Josh Turner

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
