Randy Travis - Raise Him Up lyrics

rate me

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

BUT YOU GOTTA RAISE HIM UP

RAISE HIM UP
