Why is Jim Reeves Associated With Obituary Songs? by mikron(m): 1:43pm On Jul 20, 2014
with tracks like Where We'll Never Grow Old, God Be With You ('til we meet again.), This World is not my home and "Beyond The Clouds" one wonders why James Travis Reeves also known as jim reeves loves singing obituary songs. he was born August 20, 1923 and died July 31, 1964 (aged 40).

He did not sing obituary songs. He only sang about heaven and how sweet it will be when he will finally meet his God. Its us that use it to console ourselves that our dear departed ones are happy with God and jim reeves' song helps people cope.

Gbam. Right on point. I love his song too. It help remind you that one day we will meet our maker and the corruption of this world will have no place over there.

God bless his soul.

Abi, if pastors can spend time preaching about heaven like jim reeves people would have been better behaved. Runs girls will repent, armed robbers etc will change for better. His songs make you reflect on your life as a whole and make you want to do the right thing cos one day maybe today, you will face your maker.
Pastors today preach about wealth many chriatians are not motivated to remember God rather they are taught to push blame for their failures onto their family mbers, neighbours , friends, witcges, ancesstral home land etc for making them not be millionaires and big men.
Niw adays christians want and want and want but never think of giving unoess its giving to their pastor with the hope of getting more in form of mirracle. They call it seed offering.
