'''Rachel Delevoryas''' is a Christian song by [[Randy Stonehill]] from his 1991 album ''Wonderama''.

The song tells of a 5th grade girl, teased by boys for her lack of beauty and her interest in classical music (Rachel played the violin).  The singer, though, would walk by her house in the evenings as he went to play ball with a friend; he heard her violin playing and the ever-growing hedge around her family's house (which he thought fit the ever-growing walls Rachel would place around her heart to keep out the pain).

At the end, the singer tells that Rachel's family moved "back east", but she ultimately got a position in a symphony orchestra, playing her violin, and he wonders if she remembers "the cruel boys in the one-horse town".
