Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Randy Travis - Three Wooden Crosses! This song writing is CRAZY...

[@bethhutto9800]

The preacher placed the bible stained with his blood at the scene of the crash into the hooker's hand before he passed. Then she gave it to her son who became a preacher and he told the story. I just love to hear Randy Travis sing anything. Thank you for the reaction.

[@jasonceravone777]

That was the Preacher’s legacy or what he left behind

[@DannyJohnson-x4y]

And the hooker left behind her son their preacher!!

[@ConspiracySmurf]

***FOREVER AND EVER AMEN*** you want that one.

[@chelseahaley8350]

@ConspiracySmurf He has done a reaction to this song...It's on his channel! 😊

He did that one already :)

I was just going to suggest that one myself.

[@unical76]

Great song

[@UberDave918]

I've listened to this song for years and it gets me every time. Randy Travis battled his own demons but you could always tell he was a believer in Jesus Christ. Your mom sounds like a beautiful woman. I'm sorry for your loss but what a relief to know that she's in the arms of Jesus. God bless.

[@cog4life]

Amen.

[@rob-8742]

@@UberDave918 Jesus saves alll you have to do is ask. I used to carry New Testament bibles that I found always a lot of the at the dollar tree. When I would to ask them accept him into your heart. Then I would hand over the new testament bible I would say every thing is right in here I pay my heart as I handed out to total strangers I only had one person in ten years we call it street preaching.

You know it's the line that he said "Its not what you take when you leave this world behind, it what you leave when you go" what that preacher left changed that woman life, which changed her sons, and now her son is changing lives preaching in a church

[@barbarakolowski1122]

I loved his reaction also.

[@peterburrell007]

it was a blood stained bible, he gave it to her with his last words(and his blood), laying on the pavement, telling her how he could see heaven. That's what touched her soul and changed the direction of her life, the rest you got right.

[@amyperkins2008]

Three wooden crosses... Definitely my favorite song by Randy Travis. It makes me cry every time I hear it. Just such a full circle moment. The three wooden crosses were for the three people that passed away...the farmer, the teacher, and the preacher. The hooker lived. And you got the story exactly right after you listened to it again. From the outside, you would think that the hooker was the one in the bus that least deserved to live. But the preacher preached the word of God to her. And it probably saved her life from a life of despair. The hooker took God's word and went on to be a mother who prayed the word to her son...who then became a preacher because of that word.

[@debswanson7374]

Two were looking for another way.. The preacher and the hooker. He was preaching, yes, but he gave her a blood soaked bible. So he was dying when he gave it her. And I always took it as she was already pregnant and open to finding a new path.

[@TwanaJoyHildebrecht-409Blitzer]

Makes Me Cry Too ❤

[@drkyla]

10:29 The preacher wasn’t preaching to her until the moment that he was dying.

[@theOGofREDS]

Just like the scene between Mary magdalene and Jesus in the chosen episode 1 I think

[@RandyRogers-zo1dz]

Randy Travis is incredible. Love this song, but he walked on water, digging up bones, and on the other hand are also all great. Just a great voice and great presence in country music.

[@mikemccabe7124]

@randyrogers YES you said the 1st thing that came mind of some the many of Randy's great songs that have a great story to them I never missed his concerts when he came to town in the 90s and early 2ks

[@danmullins8480]

You have to check out Randy's song 'He Walked On Water' another great story telling song.

[@michellerobin5461]

Oh yes!! 😢❤

[@KilisKitchen]

I flat out bawl every time I hear this song. It was written by Kim Williams and Doug Johnson. The preacher hands the hooker his bloodstained Bible as he is dying and asks her "can't you see the promiseland?" The rest you got. Your mama sounds so much like mine. Mine passed a year ago; but, she was always exactly like you describe your mama. That is touching.

[@beaubunch3621]

I got chills when i saw the realization in your eyes. You got it exactly right. 😢

[@peggyharrison3764]

You can listen to any Randy Travis song and they all have stories. Forever and ever, Amen, deeper than the holler….

[@meeting_meghan]

I absolutely LOVE that you have reacted to this. As a Christian I was hoping this song would mean a lot to you, and hoped you would get the lyrics & story, which you totally did, and not all reactors do. They don't listen to the story well enough to understand it, so I'm glad you did. Best wishes and God Bless!

[@bungalowmo]

This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. It's so deep. God bless Randy for being the songwriter that he is.

[@Suzette-gb7uj]

I’ve heard this song so many times, and I told myself tonight, going into this reaction video, “You are not going to cry.” It didn’t work. I can’t stop it. It’s a beautiful sentiment. It’s sad, too, for the others that lost their lives. But being the only survivor is one of the reasons that she turned her life around.

[@rosemaryabbott1020]

Okay. Now I am crying my eyeballs out. I miss my Momma so much. Her relationship with God was amazing. I tried to raise my son the same way your Mom did you. He turned around and ran from it until he was 35 years old. But then God’s faithfulness kicked in when he finally hit the bottom. He came back to God and myself then. He has a wife and two beautiful babies and I am truly blessed. Thank you for sharing your story about your mother.

[@TannaPhillips]

YES!!!!! You understood the story!!! I kept wanting to shout just finish the song!! And each one of us never knows what ripple affect we have on this world!! Be the LIGHT! ❤️

[@jealousjelly1]

You totally nailed the meaning of the story. This song was voted country song of the year in 2003, and won a Dove Award as the Christian song of the year as well, so you aren't the only one who was touched by this. God bless your precious mom.

[@maryalbrecht5602]

You are spot on with the story. Thankfully, the story is fictional, but still tugs at the heart strings. I was born and raised in the Baptist church. My mother is 89 yrs old and still attends the same church every Sunday. RIP to your mother. Im so sorry for your loss. My father passed in 1995, but my mom is still going strong at 89 God bless you and your family BP.

[@jaceywarren1528]

Everything you said I was right with you with one little tweak, I don't remember anything in the song saying he was preaching to her before the crash. What I heard was that with his last breath the preacher left behind his vision of the promised land while he laid that same Bible stained with his own blood in that young lady's hand. In my mind I see her on the side of road after the crash watching responders pull those lifeless bodies from the wreck while still holding that Bible and realizing in that moment that she could have been one of those crosses on the side of the road but for the grace of God. And that's what changed her life.
