I love this song so much. forgotten h at the end of my name though. Soon it will be spelt right :) I LOVE MY NAME. I just hate it when pronounce it wrong though. It is such a beautiful name :) yes named after this song
oh my gosh i just went to show someone the song i was named after and i feel like i just discovered an entire community of people who i can relate to in some unique way!
-yes people pronounce it RYE ALLLL the time
-and mine is spelled differently. my parents omitted the h on the end and changed the spelling to Shiraya, to mirror ym grandmother;s name, Shirley.
omg its so weird hearing a song with my name in it. I totally didn't know they had this any sharayah's name after the same song. I only know one other sharayah.
does anybody get called sharayah but they say the ray as rye? that happens to me all the time!!! I was named after this song too my mom loves Amy Grant! Everytime i went to church wen i was younger i got this song sung to me
yayyyy mine name is Sharayah too!! i was named after this song also, my friend always walks in the hall sining this song out loud. i never knew there was so many Sharayahs. and i always thought my name was unique =( ....oh well! ^_^
HEHE I was named after this song too...It is Sharayah too! It took me a while to learn how to spell it as a kid! But I always felt unique...not so much now hehe
woww i can't believe how many people have been named after this song. just yesterday i found out that my best friend SHARAYAH was actually named after this song!!
haha, I didn't know this many people had their parents name them after this song!! :) Mine's said and spelled the same way =P...Sharayah Jean :)))) I LOVE meh name!!!!!!!!! ♥♥♥Ray♥♥♥
Okay, I'm not the only one! My name's Sharaya, and my parents named me after this song too! . . . in elementary, I saw the song on the jacket spelled with an "h" on the end, and I've spelled my name SharayaH ever since. Fun fact. :)
My name was given to me from this song as well. Except my mom changed it to Charaya. My other sisters names started with ch so she had mine start with ch. It was inspired by this song :)
thanks soo much for havin this on here!! now ppl can kno how to say my name when they ask how to say it! lol...mine is spelled differntly though. its spelled S-h-e-r-a-y-e-a-h
ok, I never thought it would have that use, LOL. What ever works, lol. Your very welcome xxsherayeahxx. Glad to know people will say your name right now, thanks to my video, lol.
omg!!! thank you so much for posting this...someone gave my mom this tape when i was little because my name is pronounced the same way except it is spelled s-h-a-r-e-a. that is so cool!!!! thanks again
That's alright, I'm in television and hated it also! Low pay, big egos, long hours, whatta ya gonna do! I like your video for its sincerity. You weren't trying to be ironic and you werent making fun of the song. There's a lot of heart to it. Would like to see what you would do now with a cheap video camera and iMovie.
Thanks billtotolo, very much. I appreciate your comment. I made this at Bucks County Community College in Newtown,PA back in 1988. I'm now a truck driver and hating it, lol. I would love to have a job in the TV or film industry, directing, camera work, or acting, or any combination of those.

This was not a popular song in the 80s (it barely made the year-end top 100)
but I always liked it.
It had a good message about friendship
& helping them to rely on God for help.
