Randy Travis - Raise Him Up Lyrics






When I first met his momma
She was just 19
Couldn't say for certain who the father was
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 can change the world

Ya'll may have to look at joseph
A couple thousand years ago
When he held a newborn baby he named jesus
He said he may not be blood of my blood
Still I'm gonna raise him up

I'll provide for him
Walk beside of him
I am strong enough
I will show him too
What a son can do
With a fathers 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 fathers love
One man changed the world
And he can change your world
But you gotta raise him up
Raise him up

    Jesus loves you and can give you eternal life. These verses from the Bible explain how you can accept Jesus as your savior (John 3:16, Romans 3:23, 3:10, 5:12, 6:23, 5:8-9, 10:9-10, 10:13, 10:17, 8:28, Ephesians 2:8-9, Hebrews 11:1-3, James 1:17, 2 Peter 3:9-10). If you do, you have a promise from God of resurrecting like Jesus did and eternal life (1 Corinthians 15:51-53, 1 Thessalonians 4:14-17). :)

    My brother dad was murdered when he was two months old my dad raised him as one of his own, my dad played the story my brother as a birthday song. Love and family is a strong thing. I love Randy Travis he has been my favorite since a little girl

  6. C.... C....

    I have two kids. boy and a girl that are not blood but such an inspiration. wouldn't change it for anything

  7. K.... K....

    If its true Randy that you didn't have a father your not alone we all could use it that's probably why this song was giving me such the anxiety.

  8. g.... j....

    I played the young randy travis in this one, I remember they had Honey Nut Cheerios on set. The hospital scene was at my old church, cornerstone in San Antonio. also the nurse holding up the baby and in the background in the church was my father as well. Distant yet fond memories

  9. b.... ....

    This song really touched my heart

  10. M.... S....

    Randy, God gave me this song to write for you, he can still turn your life around if you will just have faith to believe and I sure hope you hear this.

    This song is so true, and most males and females can make a baby, but it takes real women to be moms and real men to be fathers. I gave birth to,two sons one daughter then adopted a koren baby I love ❤️ them all this same and when i look at them or talk about them they are all the same. They have given my 9 wonderful grandchildren from 22 years to 10 months. I am blessed i have given then time and they all no matter how old they get still give me time always. Unfortunately the person I married was a good money maker he wasn't the person i know before we were married. It takes more then money to make a family. So now after 46 years i left his lone big house. He is still there and alone so sad.

    That was beautiful Randy. Email me will you? I remember a few years back meeting you at church during one of your concerts with John Hagee. You complimented me on wearing a Roy Rogers t shirt. And we talked a few minutes. A couple of years later at The Lancaster Festival in Ohio. I gave you a Roy Rogers and Trigger t shirt. God bless you and I am praying for you.

    Fantastic song/hymn.Deeply moved, here in Edinburgh Scotland. First time heard. Definitely not be the last. Very clever song too with the first hidden gospel story. (My own father never got over being illegitimate and being given away by his mother and was embittered by it all his life.)

  25. C.... O....

    Bless St. Joseph!  Jesus' second father provided for Him so He could provide for us the ultimate Gift.

    lost creek rambler right. Was just the devil seeing his faith and trying to throw him off the path....But like his wife said when she asked him while he was in hospital bed if he was ready to let go. Tear streamed down his cheek and squeezed her hand telling her he wasnt bout to give up. He fought the devil and won.

  38. K.... S....

    Amazing song RT

  50. h.... ....

    This is why I love country music. So much emotion that you don't find in very many other genres. Maybe that's why Power Ballads are my favorite music outside of country...

    @MrJoeycaswell All kids have a Father -- God -- but only some kids have a Daddy! wwwDOTfacebookDOTcomSLASHROCKa­ndSHIELD

    I just spent Christmas services with President Jimmy Carter in Plains Georgia, at which he played this video, told the story of how he came to learn about it while Turkey hunting on a quiet day not long ago about a mile from his boyhood farm and home in Plains with a quiet day and no action on the hunting front in sight when he played it on his IPod. President Carter said it is now his all time favorite Christian song of any kind! wwwDOTfacebookDOTcomSLASHROCKandSHIELD

  63. C.... P....

    I just love this song! It is very inspirational and tells just how much God loved us that he gave us his son Jesus! Thank you for singing such a great song!

  64. M.... ....

    Awesome stuff.

  65. T.... E....

    Hail Travis another good 1 not surprising

  70. W.... B....

    Randy has sung some of the best gospel songs that has really touched my life. I pray for him. Such a great song and such a wonderful singer. May God bless your soul in a great way. Your my favorite.Forever and ever AMEN :)

  71. c.... ....

    I never really listened to this song....It has a wonderful message...

  72. t.... ....

    That is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard!!! RAISE HIM UP!!!

  73. S.... B....

    If we all raised them up on the greatest teacher teachings, heaven on earth could come.

  74. S.... ....

    This is kindof embarressing but I wish Randy Travis was my dad. I was a foster child and my real father has told me many times he wants nothing to do with me. I love our Heavenly Father very much but I'm, like many other fatherless people I'm sure, are hurting without a father's love.

  75. T.... ....

    Beautiful song. beautiful message. I had fun making this video. Thank you Randy for giving me the opportunity to play the young doctor.

  76. P.... W....

    My wife and I work with children and I have to say this song hit me like a ton of bricks! Only God gives words of truth like this through vessels like us. Thank you Randy for listening to Him and sending out his word!

  77. M.... M....
