From Graceland to the Promised Land

From the sun years of the Fifties and the birth of rock and roll

Millions screamed to see him do his thing

Elvis touched the life of ev'ry ear that heard him

And they couldn't help but listen when he sangIt's a long way from Memphis to that mansion in the sky

But he kept his faith in Jesus all along

It's a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land

But Jesus fin'ly came to lead him home
