Letras: Randy Travis. Raise Him Up.

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, well, he can change the world

Y'all may have to look at Joseph, a couple of 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 father's love and He will change the world"

Thirty-three 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
An' I'm gonna raise Him up"
(Raise Him up)

I'll provide for You, walk beside of You
I am strong enough
I've seen from You what a Son can do with a Father's love
One man changed the world, an' He can change your world
But you gotta raise Him up
(Raise Him up)
