Randy Travis Album: Rise & Shine Track: Raise Him Up
Raise Him Up Lyrics
When I first met his mama, she was just 19 ...Couldn't say for certain who the father was But I have known him since he was a pup And I'm gonna raise him up
If you never knew your daddy Like I never knew mine It feels like everybody knows You're fatherless This boy may not be blood of my blood But I'm gonna raise him up
I'll provide for him Walk beside of him I am strong enough Cause it's time he knew What a son can do With a father's love
He could change the world
You only have to look at joseph A couple thousand years ago He held a newborn baby he named Jesus He said "he may not be blood of by blood Still I'm gonna raise him up
I will provide for him Walk beside of him I am strong enough I will show him too What a son can do With a father's love
And he will change the world.
33 years later When the son was in his grave Broken and abandoned By a world he came to save His real dad said "he's mine, Blood of my blood And I'm gonna raise him up"
I'll provide for you Walk beside of you I am strong enough I have seen from you What a son can do With a father's love
One man changed the world and he can change your world
