An Evening Prayer
Words & Music:
Battersby/ GabrielIf I have wounded any soul today,
If I have caused one foot to go astray,
If I have walked in my own willful way,
Dear Lord............ Forgive.
Forgive a sin I have confessed to thee,
Forgive the secret sins I do not see.
Oh guide, watch o'er me, and my keeper be,
Dear Lord, Amen. Recorded:

Elvis gives an astonishing vocal performance; one of his most moving. Especially R&B singers today exaggerate their emotional singing; they could learn something from the King.
This is such a beautiful song and Elvis' rendition of it was brilliant. The best gospel music will definitely always be Elvis' gospel music and no one will ever be able to sing gospel songs as well as Elvis sang them.
One of my favorite gospel songs...a great performance.
