Miracle of the Rosary
Words & Music:
Lee DensonOh blessed mother we pray to thee
Thanks for the miracle of your rosary
Only you can hold back
Your holy son's hand
Long enough for the whole world to understand
Hail, Mary full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed are thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Oh holy Mary dear mother of God
Please pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death
And give thanks once again

One of the few songs I cannot stand. I can't believe he actually recorded this crap. Each to his own I guess.
Elvis belonged to the First Assembly of God. According to June Juanico, both she & Elvis were catholic. This is certainly a catholic song. The alternate take 1 is without overdubbes & slightly better.
Just played the track as I have not heard it for some time, and yeah I really enjoyed it. The choir, the build up and Elvis in fine voice make for a very fine goepel offering -4 stars from me.
I like it; but it did not belong on the LP "Elvis Now". They should have waited and included it on the "He Touched Me" LP. "Now" should have been a more folk oriented LP with songs such as "For Lovin Me" and "I'm Leavin". That said, Elvis' vocals are amazing on this one and I give the track 3 stars.
one of my less played recordings by Elvis, sorry, i'll even skip the comments i have. that said i have ordered the 'Now' Cd.
Always liked it. Too bad it was left off the recent gospel boxset. A glaring omission due to some politically correct B.S. Nice to know Elvis wasnt so narrow-minded.
