Elvis Presley

Songwriter: Bill Gaither

[Verse 1]
Shackled by a heavy burden
Need the Lord again and shame
Then the hand of Jesus touched me
And now I am no longer the same

[Chorus]
For he touched me
He touched me
He touched me
And what a wonderful joy
Joy that foods my soul
Something happened and now I know
He touched me
And made me whole

[Verse 2]
Oh since I met this blessed Savior
And since he cleansed and made me whole
Oh I never cease
Never cease to praise Him
I'll shout it while eternity rolls

[Chorus]

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American performer that spanned all media—music, film, and historic live concerts—with a vehement passion that earned him the moniker, “The King of Rock and Roll.”

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis began to explore the blues scene prevalent in Memphis and the culture it encompassed.

In August 1953, he walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother’s birthday. Manager of Sun Records Sam Phillips took note of his unique voice and persona, and invited Elvis back to the studio in July 1954, where he ultimately recorded his first true single, “That’s All Right,” with “Blue Moon of Kentucky” as the B-side.
