Elvis really LOVED gospelsongs like this of Mahalia Jackson. He had a huge gospel-record-collection.


Crying In The Chapel

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I'm happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I searched and I searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth to gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Then your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

(Artie Glenn)

  • Elvis loved to sing ...

    Elvis loved to sing gospel songs and had faith. He even wrote a note shortly before he died stating that he would sacrifice all the fame and fortune he accumulated in exchange for a closer relationship w God. I hope he found that in the end. He was a rare talent and I think a kind and decent person.
