[VERSE]
I sure wasn’t born with a silver spoon
And there weren’t chandeliers in any of our rooms
No, our house was miles away from Easy Street
No swimming pools or long black limousines
But what I had, I wouldn’t trade for anything
[CHORUS]
I was raised on the resurrection
Brought up on the old King James
Prayed for by a congregation
Baptized in Amazing Grace
From the day I was born I was blessed with folks
Who told me all about Sweet Heaven
Surrounded by love
Washed in the blood
I was raised… on the resurrection
[VERSE]
Now, I’ve had my share of rebel days
More than just a couple wrong turns along the way
But The Lord has been too good to let me go
Cuz right from the beginning, He’s made sure I know
(That) He loves me, and I can always come back home
[CHORUS]
I was raised on the resurrection
Brought up on the ol King James
Prayed for by a congregation
Baptized in Amazing Grace
From the day I was born I was blessed with folks
who told me all about Sweet Heaven
Surrounded by love washed in the blood
I was raised… on the resurrection
[BRIDGE]
I was raised to life when I was born again
So when my life is over,
I’ll be raised up just like Him
I’ll be raised on the resurrection
INSTRUMENTAL
Surrounded by love
Washed in the blood
[CHORUS]
I was raised on the resurrection
Brought up on the ol King James
Prayed for by a congregation
Baptized in Amazing Grace
From the day I was born I was blessed
With folks
who told me all about Sweet Heaven
Surrounded by love
Washed in the blood
I was raised… on the resurrection
I was raised… on the resurrection
