Elvis Presley - How Great Thou Art [If I Can Dream]

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Oh Lord my God when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

{Verse 2}
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation
To take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim my God how great thou art

{Chorus}
Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
How great thou art (how great thou art)
How great thou art (how great thou art)
Then sings my soul my savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

edit bio

Elvis Aaron Presley, also known as "The King of Rock and Roll," was born on January 8, 1935, in Tupelo, Mississippi, to Gladys and Vernon Presley. At the age of 13, he moved with his family to Memphis, Tennessee, where he began to explore the local blues scene, which greatly influenced his music.

In 1953, Elvis walked into Sun Records to record a song for his mother's birthday, catching the attention of manager Sam Phillips. He recorded his first single, "That's All Right," in 1954, which marked the beginning of his rise to fame. His unique voice and charismatic persona quickly captured the hearts of fans across the country.

Colonel Tom Parker, a renowned music promoter, became Elvis's manager and helped propel his career to new heights. Elvis signed with RCA Records and released chart-topping hits like "Heartbreak Hotel," solidifying his status as a music icon.

In 1958, Elvis was drafted into the U.S. Army, a period marked by personal tragedy with the death of his beloved mother, Gladys. While stationed in Germany, he met his future wife, Priscilla Beaulieu, whom he married in 1967. They had a daughter, Lisa Marie, in 1968.

After returning from the army, Elvis focused on his music and film career, starring in a series of successful but critically panned movies. However, in 1968, he made a triumphant comeback with the '68 Comeback Special, reigniting his passion for live performances.

Despite his success, Elvis faced personal struggles, including a divorce from Priscilla in 1973. On August 16, 1977, Elvis was found unresponsive in his bathroom and pronounced dead at the hospital. His untimely death shocked the world, but his legacy lived on.

Elvis Presley's impact on music and popular culture is immeasurable. He holds numerous records for chart-topping hits and albums, but his influence goes beyond numbers. Elvis revolutionized the music industry and inspired generations of artists to come.

As Bruce Springsteen eloquently put it, Elvis Presley whispered a dream in everyone's ear, and somehow, we all dreamed it. Elvis may have left this world too soon, but his music and legacy continue to resonate with fans worldwide.
