To my sister, Jude, I am so thankful for this wonderful seed that you were so blessed with and shared with us. Raheim was so much more than the world would ever know, but we know. I will miss him and his comedy, always making me laugh. Jude, God is a sustainer and He will sustain you during this time; He is a keeper and Raheim is kept in the arms of our Lord and our God. Just trust God.

I love you.

I WILL GUIDE THEE

Precious promise God hath given
To the weary passerby
On the way from Earth to Zion
I will guide thee with mine eye

chorus

I will guide thee,I will guide thee
I will guide thee with mine eye
On the way from Earth to Zion
I will guide thee with mine eye


When temptations almost win thee
And thy trusted watchers fly
Let this promise ring within thee
I wil guide thee with mine eye

chorus

When thy secret hopes have perished
In the grave of years gone by
Let this promise still be cherished
I will guide thee with mine eye

chorus

When the shades of life are falling
And the hour has come to die(live)
Hear thy trusted Savior calling
I will guide thee with mine eye



JERUSALEM

Jerusalem,my happy home
Name ever dear to me
When shall my labours have an end
Thy joys when shall i see

When shall these eyes,thy Zion brick walls
And pearly gates behold
Thy bulwarks straight,salvation strong
On streets of shining gold

Apostles,martyrs,prophets there
Around my Savior stand
And all I love,in Christ below
We'll join the glorious band

Jerusalem,my happy home
When shall I come to thee
When shall my labours have an end
Thy joys when shall I see

O Christ do thou,my soul prepare
For that bright home of love
That I may see thee and adore
With all thy saints above

HOLY EMMANUEL I,SELASSIE I,JAH RASTAFARI

To all of us who knew you, grew up with you, and went to school with you is in grief because you are no longer here with us... Its Sad because we cant see your face, here your laughter, and just be near you.. As a friend and someone I went to school with, I pray that you are in a better place and now at peace no longer suffering the pains of life and can now enjoy what we all been waiting on... And that's being with the Lord... As the days pass you will always be remembered as the Goofy, smart, entertaining Raheim... We will miss you and know that you are indeed with the Lord watching over us..
Miss You Much..

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
