Raise me straight and raise me true
Spent my days becoming you
Sunday morning, evening too
Sitting in your second pew
Torn apart, my spirits spent
I fell in love on accident
Wondered just what Jesus meant
When he said all love was Heaven sent
Papa I don't need a preacher
I ain't some kind of creature from some old double feature
I just want to make you proud of the kind of love I've found
But you say it ain’t allowed
Say that its a sin
But it's how I've always been
Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
Tried my hardest not to be
I locked the door and I broke the key
Jesus died upon that tree
Daddy do you think he'd cover me
Red and yellow black and white
We are precious in His sight
So why can't I sleep through the night?
Daddy do you think I've turned out right?
Papa, I don't need a preacher
I ain't some kind of creature from some old double-feature
I just wanna make you proud of the kind of love I've found
Well you say it ain’t allowed
You say that it's a sin
But it's how I've always been.
Did you love me when, he was just my friend?
Papa, you're the one that taught me
By His stripes He sought me, and with His blood He bought me
Daddy, you're the one that claimed that He'd love me through the flame
Now, can't you do the same?
I've been born again
But I first was born in sin
Did you love me then?
Did you love me then?
Spent my days becoming you
