Yes, I did get the eye drops! What a relief!

The concert was excellent, Randy Travis sang one of his new releases called "Raise him up" and the place went absolutely ballistic...by the time he got to the end, everyone was on their feet.

Very moving!

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 [here, Randy Travis paused briefly then sang]
AND I’M GONNA RAISE HIM UP” [crowd went absolutely NUTS]

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

I woulda just cried. Randy Travis was one of mine and G's favorites, especially the beautiful gospel songs. Friday night was so much fun, I needed to keep that in focus. How'd your mom do with all the walking and such.
