[Verse 1]
Lord, help me walk another mile, just one more mile
I'm tired of walking all alone
Lord, help me smile another smile, just one more smile
You know I just can't make it on my own

[Chorus]
I never thought I needed help before
I thought that I could get by, by myself
But now I know I just can't take it any more
With a humble heart, on bended knee
I'm begging You, please, help me

[Verse 2]
Come down from your golden throne to me, to lowly me
I need to feel the touch of Your tender hand
Remove the chains of darkness let me see, Lord let me see
Just where I fit into Your master plan

[Chorus]
I never thought I needed help before
I thought that I could get by, by myself
But now I know I just can't take it any more
With a humble heart, on bended knee
I'm begging You, please, help me
With a humble heart, on bended knee
I'm begging You, please, help me

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.
