A few weeks ago I stumbled on a song by a fellow. The song on his site was beautiful. I think part of lyrics were about "Joseph, the father of Jesus". I didn't bookmark the site (I could remember it, right?). Now I'm just sick I didn't bookmark. Can you help? Thank you for your time.

Maybe it was "He wasn't His Child" which is about Joseph watching Jesus grow.

After reading the above posts I too looked for "The Christ ( a song for Joseph)" but couldn't find lyrics. I haven't heard this song, but now I would like to buy the album. This query brought to my mind a song I heard Randy Travis sing on The evangelist, Haggey, (just can't remember his first name at the moment, but it was on TBN) program recently. I have posted it here. Maybe you have heard it or would like to find a recording of it. It's a great song.

"Raise Him Up"

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
