FIRST TIME HEARING RANDY TRAVIS “THREE WOODEN CROSSES”

[@wandadavis2124]

Randy Travis is one of my all-time favorites. This song gives me the chills every time I hear it. You must check out all of his music. ❤❤

[@lindabrewer3243]

The Preacher died but before he did, he asked the hooker if she could see the promise land and he gave her his blood stained bible. The Preacher in the last verse was the son of the hooker, who survived. She apparently changed her life and raised her son in a Christian manner and he grew up to be a Preacher. It is a wonderful twist to the story and a very beautiful one.

[@DebbieBerrey]

Love randy❤❤❤❤debbie

[@SavageDawgJoshua]

I watch these reactions to see if a mustard seed has been planted, and therefore spread to others watching, and this is it. Thank you, sir, for this reaction! Jesus lives through word of mouth! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

That line : *"I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world behind you* *It's what you leave behind you when you go"* , says it all.

[@katinacobb2814]

The Preacher saved a soul while dying!

[@burgaweddie1]

The preacher gave his Bible to the hooker who then turned her life around and have the Bible to her son who became a preacher. The preacher was one of the three dead early

[@oldermusiclover]

this was a real story

[@michelleortega1514]

Randy is the best.He pretty much saved country music in the 80s.He can't sing anymore due to a stroke.

[@firefighterchick]

This is one of his biggest hits! He is another artist who is immediately recognizable. My take is that perhaps she was already pregnant and that, along with this incident, gave her the strength to leave that life. In return, she was able to herself and her song the life they deserved. You can't lose with any Randy Travis song.

[@Tabby_Angela]

That's always been my take as well ❤

[@edithdavis2848]

Mine too.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

I take it you mean her ( Son ) not song. Nice comment though :)

[@planojag595]

I think it's because the farmer, teacher, and preacher had already given something positive to the world and she hadn't yet so she was given another chance to do so which she ultimately did.

[@blackberry5447]

I never thought about that ! Great perspective !

[@rosiesiders2000]

I can never listen to this with out crying, Randy Travis also geust stars in a tv series called touched by an angle.

[@newbeginnings6747]

God bless Randy.

[@dragonnan2725]

Some beautiful Randy songs: "Forever and Ever", "Wind in the Wire" (Haunting), "On the Other Hand", "Deeper than the Holler", "Will the Circle be Unbroken"

[@bunnybachman]

Randy is simply the best of country. Please react to Deeper than the Holler, Forever and Ever Amen, I Told You So, Amazing Grace, etc.

[@kylesummers1565]

Peace, Love!!

[@TheBachBabe]

I've listened to this song since it was a new release on the radio, I know every word, it never fails to make me tear up. Randy is one the GOATs.

[@SickGirlRocks]

Same

[@bartonbagnes4605]

It's sad, yet hopeful. Great message.

[@ellavader4411]

It's Just A Matter Of Time and Diggin' Up Bones doesn't disappoint .

[@Tabby_Angela]

I could see this song affecting you from the start. It's a powerful song. Should definitely check out his He Walked On Water song. ❤

[@leslieoneal4464]

Second that!! 💯 One of my favorite songs he ever did! Great video, too!

[@ruthannsmith8771]

You can't go wrong with any Randy Travis song..One of my favorite singers..He has a huge list of hits..He suffered a massive stroke 10 years ago and can no longer perform..

[@pinky2245]

Randy was a powerhouse in his prime and had so many huge hits and awards. Sadly the health issues finished his music career, but he is a fighter and is still trying to make a difference. He has dabbled with acting as well, even after the stroke.

[@steverousseau4645]

The most respectful reaction that I have heard since I started watching this type of video. Very heart warming.Thanks.

[@planojag595]

The timbre of his rich baritone voice is unparalleled. My favorite Randy Travis songs are Reasons I Cheat; Promises; Take Another Swing At Me; This is Me; Look Heart, No Hands; Spirit of a Boy, Wisdom of a Man; That’s Where I Draw the Line; I Told You So; The Box; He Walked On Water; Three Wooden Crosses; Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart; It’s Just a Matter of Time; On the Other Hand; and Forever and Ever Amen.

[@TheWynch]

This is the most beautiful story, thanks for reacting.

[@flyntplatz3724]

That is a beautiful song, and a great story. I first saw Randy Travis as the Opening Act for Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, since then I have seen him a few more times. Any of Randy's songs are great, a few of my favorites are : He walked on the water, Forever and ever Amen & Digging up bones. Have a great day.

[@pinky2245]

Oh yes, I love "Digging Up Bones".

[@kimking6036]

I will always love him and the music he has given us. Dolly Parton had a dream and the next morning wrote a song about it. She released it on her 77th birthday. It's called Don't make me come down there. I know you would love it

[@janicem9225]

I love that song! 😍

[@traceycater]

Randy came out with some beautiful songs! Thank you!!!

[@rogerdickerson6924]

I love how this song was quite late in Randy's career, long after so many legendary tracks. I'll have to review the rest of this album now, not sure I ever played it all the way through.

[@cyu5251]

Goosebumps and tears everytime I hear this song 🥺🙏🏻🥺

[@shawnmazyn7090]

Beautiful message in this song. ❤️ I like his song Digging up bones.. lol

[@trishharrison3618]

Very powerful song, and a very beautiful song, lots of love from my family to yours from West Virginia, may God bless you and your family 🙂♥️🙏

[@chriswaltman5313]

Randy Travis is one of my favorite singers. I love his powerful southern voice.

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Before Randy , John Denver had been my favorite male country artist. I will always like both of them though.

[@bernieregnier4500]

One of my favorite soloist with his baritone voice that could draw the best emotional vocal out of any thing he sang!!!❣

[@thehonestwoodcutterbradywe8011]

Its,a story about redemption.that bible saved that fallen ladies life,gave her faith,and spun her her on her heels so she got off the terrible path she was on.she went on to have a son who,because of the incredible gift she had been given,and subsequently passed on to him became a man of god himself and likely helped others find their path.god what a beautiful message.that's one of those songs I could listen to 1000 times and still feel the punch it packs

[@Mark_MOORE_VFL]

I don't think I would describe the song as upbeat it's a story of tragedy that something good came out of it. When the dieing preacher gave his Bible to the hooked who may have been a believer but turn her life back to god and raised her son to believe then he became a preacher who was telling the story from the beginning of the song that's the reason there wasn't 4 wooden crosses if there had been 4 who knows how his life would have been

[@blackberry5447]

I remember hearing that song for the first time. It totally undid me.

[@martismastiffs]

So glad you played this one, wanted to see how you liked it.

[@YolandaOCaptionCupcakes]

This song has a meaning, depending upon how you receive it.

[@ladykristalginn6]

This is one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite artists! Please react to his song, "He Walked on Water." Beautiful!

[@PatiAnn]

It was Amazing when Randy was on stage playing .. ❤️ much love

[@lisacroney6964]

I am so happy that you did this one! This is my favorite recording of Randy's. His voice and the message of the song make me tear up every time. 🥰

[@simplebudgetsbyd]

So glad you did this one. Like you, I love love love story songs, and this is one of the best and with a great message to boot. Initially it makes people think that there are only 3 crosses because they didn't give one to the hooker...but then we find out that the hooker actually survived to raise her son, who became the preacher telling the story.

[@jewls9697]

Randy had such a health problem right as he was rising to the top of his music!! I pray for him!! He's worked hard for years just to say a few word & help up on stage a few back. We lost a lot of great songs!! Keep praying he come back! I Love ya Randy! Make it back to us!! You don't even have to sing! God Bless You Randy Travis!! ❤🙏🤠🤩💯

[@robertrodgers1423]

This is why reactions are so good, we don't always get the gist on the first go.

[@suefink7292]

love Randy Travis and Love this song, one of my favorites

[@DiamondslashY]

Travis Tritt “anymore “

[@johoney5458]

Great message and Randy is a great singer. Thank you for taking the time to share. Have a blessed day.

[@vickybrackin7483]

My absolute favorite song of Randy's is...I Thought He Walked On Water!! It reminds me of my Grandpa SO MUCH!!❤

[@SSIronHeart]

I saw the tile and stopped it 2 seconds. I thought ok some tissue a STRONG drink and I might not cry this time... still cried.. im 32 m btw. And now I'm gonna go cry more with 'teddy bear'

[@karylbelitz6704]

I MISS His voice. Since His stroke 😢

[@donmelto]

An amazing song told by an amazing singer!

[@johnthegreek5836]

Great song, when you figure it out it slaps you in the face

[@onenight0666]

Randy still makes me cry. Thanks. Oh I recommend He Walked On Water. I think you'll like it! Diggin Up Bones too.

[@dianeritthaler7792]

Beautiful song❤

[@marvcameron7854]

Praise God

[@Cashcrop54]

I don't comment usually on reactions that are older but I knew I would appreciate your reaction and I was not disappointed. Thank you. Your reactions are always to the point. Wish I'd have seen it back when you did it.

[@loualwell7930]

I listen to Randy’s religious CD every Sunday. This song is on it.

[@757optim]

This one sometimes takes more than one listen to "get it".

[@leslieoneal4464]

Yeah, I don't think he got it from this reaction. Hopefully he'll listen again...or actually read the comments and figure it out. 😉👍 I love Randy and had all of his albums, so I listened to them all over and over! ❤

[@Tabby_Angela]

The best songs always do ❤

[@phillipthomas119]

Such a rich tone he was a one of a kind voice in country. So sad to see him today, I couldn't imagine having a special gift then to have it taken away... great reaction have a blessed day!

[@karenmartin7978]

My favorite Randy Travis song is He Walked On Water. There's a beautiful video about it.

[@jankreps5115]

Great reaction!! Randy did a beautiful job getting this message across! Listen to Brooks & Dunn singing believe… About learning that there’s more to the words written in red and he seen before… Another song about faith!

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@marvcameron7854]

Great song

[@justwondering5651]

The song starts out talking about the passengers. "One was headed for vacation, one for higher education, and two of them were searching for lost souls." The preacher's final dying act was was to save a lost soul, fulfilling the song's message that what's important is what you leave behind you when you go.

[@marygodwin4497]

❤ Randy Travis

[@lefty3141591]

Randy had some great songs. I'd suggest "Better Class of Loosers".

[@rosemariediamond5948]

Another song of his you would love is I Told You So which he also does with Carrie Underwood. I so appreciate your insightful reactions

[@jenniferwathen]

My favorite Randy Travis song is "One Word Song." The depth of his voice is just beautiful.

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

He and Carrie Underwood have a beautiful duet, Randy’s, I Told You So, performed on American Idol!

[@carolcliff5150]

My favorite Randy Travis song "I told you so"

[@larryclark4297]

RIP R/T

[@johnpaulbacon8320]

Great reaction.

[@oldermusiclover]

first time I heard this i thought of a road that goes into the town I grew up in it has a lot crosses and flowers on the side of it but I think of 3 high school girls who died on it two of them were sisters and amen about its what you leave behind you when you go

[@grandmakaren4680]

I would suggest Randy's song He Walked On Water

[@TinaKay24]

you make me want to live

[@pamhines1748]

One of my favorites from Randy Travis is ‘I thought he walked in water’ but please do the original video.

[@oldermusiclover]

this is based on a real story

[@jaqathome]

This is such a good song. Please check out my favourite song by Randy “I Told You So”

[@lisadickson250]

I wish I could hear your commentary when you pause the songs. Lately, I've been able to hear the songs just fine, but when you pause it, I can't hear you at all, and barely when I turn my volume up to the max on my laptop. :( Randy Travis is a wonderful artist, and this is one of his best, in my opinion.

[@GioSinatraFan]

I know this song is deep and I truly do love this song, but if you are looking for more RT, check out "Better Class of Losers"

[@Dailygal]

I love all your reactions. Please do a reaction of Vince Gill and Patty Loveless at George Jones funeral.. Again great reaction.

[@novemberwallace7059]

I have been to Heaven and back many times God kept telling me I had to come back cause I had things I still had to do for him before i could go back up there for good but at least my Native Indigenous dad and my other Native Indigenous families are up there so is my Mexican Indigenous ancestors and my Scottish ancestors and my London England Ancestor John Rolfe is up there

[@cathybrown8334]

Please check out the song by Randy I thought he had wings. It’s about his grandfather.

[@sharryn56]

No one has mentioned my favorite RT song called 1982. I don’t think he did a bad song.

[@jewls9697]

Try Randy Travis...Digging up Bones...Forever and Ever, Amen...Deeper than the Holler...Better Class of losers!!! Is it Still Over...1982!! Plenty more! Let me know if you need them!! ❤

[@davidschmidt9879]

I think you would like “The little girl” by John Michael Montgomery

[@rachelginter3616]

❤😢⚘🌻🌹🌷🥀🌺

[@tjk200081]

I think you should react to the song, "Grandpa" by The Judd's. I know you just lost your grandpa not to long ago, so take your time & react to it when your ready to. It's a really good song though, & a song I'm sure you'll appreciate. 👍

[@kristenheuer5676]

I always wondered about the driver. There were 4 passengers mentioned and 3 wooden crosses. What happened to the driver?

[@Lakota790]

Next Sunday April 9,2023 is Easter Sunday, so will you please play the Audio version of the Christian group called Newsong and their song “Arise My Love”.

[@novemberwallace7059]

Randy had a stroke in 2013

[@newbeginnings6747]

Sorry, you didn't get the song. The hooker was the survivor. The preacher gave the Bible to hooker, the hooker went straight and raised a boy reading the Bible to him. He grew up to be a preacher.

[@evalehde3869]

I always wonder what happened to the driver.

[@marvcameron7854]

Praise Zgod

[@berndrebhahn9862]

Dramatically, the Hooker was pregnant and the Preacher was her Lover.

[@evalehde3869]

Wrong!

[@mikemccauley3487]

I always dread listening to reactions to this song as 90 some percent of reactors miss the story of the preacher at the end being the son of the hooker who received the Bible from the preacher. I always hope: get it, get it , get it but am almost always disappointed, oh well.

[@yourhuckleberry3733]

Honestly I feel that you missed the whole point of the song and the message behind it! Very disappointing that you didn't grasp all of that! 🤦

[@randomposts5642]

I don’t think he got it!
