I grew up with King James
I read it in my youth
I read it in my Sunday school
It's how I learned the truth
Learning to decipher
Elizabethan voice
Newer versions came along
And now I have a choice!
Chorus:
Growin' up with King James
Learning "thees" and "thous"
Learning the unwritten rules
That the church allows
Growin' up with King James
Hard to understand
What the language means to me
Say who is this man?
King James
King James
Back when it brand new
The lingo it was prime
It's safe to say that century
Was way before my time
When it comes to versions
Which is the one for me?
I can honestly declare
It's not the KJV! (Hey!)
Repeat Chorus
No, we are not sayin' (can't say it's bad)
The KJV is bad (it's bad, it's bad, it's bad)
Countless souls came to the Lord
The only choice they had (only choice they had)
If you're tryin' to tell me (The only one)
That's it's the only one (The only one)
That would mean Jehovah God would be an Englishman
Repeat Chorus
Say who art thou man?
King James (Who is this man?)
King James
James
King James
