ELVIS PRESLEY THE EARTHY KING
Jackie Lee:
Great thread Arcturus, Thanks LittleBear yes those lyrics showed me that even he knew everything was of God.
You may be able to listen to it on utube,It really is beautiful and brings tears.
His Flesh certainly seemed a hinderance even with his God given talent.
I purchased a gospel cd a while back of Elvis, God used him in a great way.
I don't like his music other than gospel.
I listen to the music and lyrics and it seemed he had many mountains in his life.

This thread certainly has made me think and it is humbling, to know what awsome gifts God gives.
Deborah-Leigh:
From this thread I believe that once God gives, He does not take back!
Perhaps Elvis will sing his best song last just like the wine saved for last at the banquet feast of the wedding where Jesus did His first miracle! With God, all things are possible.
Peace to you

Thanks so much Jackie Lee, I thoroughly enjoyed that link today... I got to hear a few tunes and again that tune I heard in the PBS show, "He Touched Me"...
He touched me and now I am no longer the same...
Something happened, and now I know..
He touched me -- and made me whole.
Our God is a strange God, n'est pas? ;) I think Father and Lord used Elvis on a variety of levels. For one, the foolishness of preaching. Two, a blatant example of what not to become.
Even though Elvis left his first love (as we all must do to go through His process)... yes, I too think he will belt out another great song when it is given time for him to do so....
But although maybe saved for last, I'm hoping it will not be his last. :) Who knows?? Great Elvis songs into infinity?? :D

Hi Everyone,
I absolutely adored Elvis when I was a child. I use to listen to my mom's records of him endlessly. After he died I read a few sensational biographies of him and I was quite saddened by the life he lived. Many people loved him to be sure, but there were also those close to him that published writings bringing to light all the horrible things going on in his life, and making money from it at that. I imagine there were precious few that Elvis could trust.
I related so much to the passion and pain in his songs, and as a lonely child his music brought me through much. Though I haven't listened to Elvis for years now, still one of my favorites of his is "If I can dream..."
Watch him sing this on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEisdOzJ1LM
Peace,
Diana

I plan to go an get some Cd's on Elvis Favourite Gospel tunes and play them in my shop.
God is great. He choreographed the life of Elvis, gave him a great gift and a mountain he could not climb. He will be resurrected to meet the love of his life Jesus Christ. Elvis will have shared first hand some of the bitter lessons and cross suffering moments that this fickle insincere world revealed to him and there will be much pain and heartache from error that only our precious Lord can heal, explain and correct.
In the mean time I will play his songs and think that we all have to carry our cross through this deceived, insane and insincere beastly world till we too lie flat on our faces in our nakedness and shame dependent on Jesus who loves us with sincere tried and true love.
Some might think I am crazy who come to the shop ;D ....they will have no idea! ;D 8)
Peace to you
Arcturus :)
