Oh, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost,
But now I'm found
Was blind,
But now I see
Ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days
To sing God's praise
Then when, when we first begun
Graceland Chapel
Toils and snares
I have already come
T'was grace that brought me
Safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
Oh, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost,
But now I'm found
Was blind,
But now I see
Rick Stanley heard him reciting a Christian prayer of
repentance. "Dear Lord," he prayed, "please show me a way.
I'm tired and confused and I need your help."
When we remember Elvis, we often recall his wild side,
shooting televisions, his addiction to pain-killers,
womanising. Yet the King of Rock’n’Roll, fallen as we
all are, had another side to him. Elvis was, in fact,
a deeply spiritual man whose faith was central to his life.
He certainly struggled to live a moral life, but his
intentions were clear to all his friends. Every day he
would strive to become closer to God. "He was a deeply
spiritual man;" claims Ray Walker of The Jordanaires, the
legendary quartet that sang with Elvis for many years,
"he was more spiritual than anyone around him."
