No one could sing gospel like Elvis. In fact, it may have been his best music IMO. I was just curious as to what is everyone's favorite Elvis gospel song?

It's a tough choice to pick one favorite, but if I have to pick one, it would be Let Us Pray. I have others that are close behind but I want to read other opinions first.

I like many a song of his - though how great thou art may seem pretty standard, it is my all-time favorite. I like to sing it myself with that dramatic ending!

It's Got To Be 'Let Us Pray' Or Where Did They Go Lord? Absolutely Fantastic Vocal On Both Tracks. No 1 Does It Like ELVIS

Is where did they go lord a gospel track though :hmm:
Great song though I love it. I just noticed it was released on Elvis Country. Thought of it more as a love song, but a favorite!

My very favorite is Amazing Grace. I love most of the Gospel songs that Elvis recorded.
Some of my favorites are: Milky White Way, He Touched Me; I,John; Swing Low, Joshua
Fit the Battle of Jericho, Stand By Me and many more. I love If We Never Meet Again; but, I can't listen to it without crying. It was a favorite of my late brother's. I do like
Where Did They Go Lord; but I don't see it as a Gospel song either. I do know it was
released on one of the Gospel albums and that my be why some people include it in Elvis'
Gospel songs.

Sounds like a good explanation! (y) I'd describe it as a love song with a gospel flavor, touch and key to it..

Hmmm...tough question... :hmm:

I would have to say that RUN ON is probably one of, if not my favorite gospel song. I also love HE TOUCHED ME, I BELIEVE, HIS HAND IN MINE and the version of SWING DOWN SWEET CHARIOT from "The Trouble With Girls". (y)

TCB!

Love Elvis` gospel recordings.... my "favourite" changes a lot from time to time,usually depending on how recently I`ve listened to it! Two of the tracks that would always make the short-list would be "Peace in the valley" and "Where no-one stands alone".
Actually here`s a video I made for youtube a while back... "Where no-one stands alone".YouTube - Where no one stands alone
