I first heard about RJ Helton and his song "Rachel's Song" through my good friend Jamie.  What an awesome young singer, who has a awesome heart for God, life and music.  His honest and pure vocals and up lifting lyrics can truly inspire and encourage the listener. 

Upon hearing about Rachel's story, her life and legacy, RJ's mom, Sue Helton, was deeply touched and moved to compose this wonderful and inspirational song on a girl who's life has touched the world.   What an awesome tribute to Rachel.  I was very deeply touched by this song, so I wanted to share it with you the visitor and I pray that it will touch your heart as well.

I want to extend a special thanks to Sue Helton and RJ Helton for a wonderful done tribute to Rachel. I'd also like to thank Jamie O'Brien for introducing me to such a talented and awesome singer and for just being a awesome friend!

This song is for you Rachel.  We'll see you again someday!

Rachel's Song

Crowded halls, open books and teachers voices,
Many friends to call her own...
A future bright, filled with plans and dreams,
Full of life and love, how could she have known?

Two young men on a mission for revenge,
With broken spirits, jaded thoughts, and an empty space within,
How could they see her mission here,
Could set them free....

Rachel, Rachel, girl you stood your ground
You gave up your life, and exchanged it for your crown
Rachel, Rachel, girl you stood your ground
You gave up your life, and exchanged it for your crown

Scattered youth and bullets flying,
Try to figure out why this must be...
Lives taken, hearts shaken, people crying...
Blinded eyes, why can't we see?

Pointed fingers, loud accusations
Who is to blame, is you or is it me


 Rachel, Rachel, girl you stood your ground
You gave up your life, and exchanged it for your crown
Rachel, Rachel, girl you stood your ground
You gave up your life, and exchanged it for your crown

Our tears will dry,
Our hearts will mend,
Let us find peace and joy in the end
Take hold, take hold of Rachel's hand
Of Rachel's hand...

Rachel, Rachel, girl you girl you stood your ground
You gave up your life, to claim your crown
