Elvis Presley

[Verse 1]
When I think of how he came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?

[Chorus]
Who am I that the King would bleed and die for
Who am I that he would pray not my will, Thy Lord
The answer I may never know
Why he ever loved me so
But to an old rugged cross he'd go
For who am I?

[Verse 2]
When I'm reminded of his words
I'll leave him never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am I?

[Chorus]

But to an old rugged cross he'd go for, who am I?

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.
