This week Jim Adams has prompted us with choosing a song pertaining to Endless | Eternity | Everlasting | Forever | Infinity | Omega for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday. I chose “Where No One Stands Alone” by Elvis Presley and Lisa Marie Presley.

When I started thinking about infinity and forever, I began wondering where I will go after my life on this earth is over. I certainly believe in a heaven, a place where we can spend eternity and be with our loved ones that have passed before us. I can’t say I’m a religious person, but I am very spiritual.

This thought took me to the King and his gospel efforts! Did you know that the only Grammy won by Elvis Presley was for his gospel albums. He received 14 Grammy nominations and won 3 for “How Great Thou Art”, “He Touched Me” and his live recording of “How Great Thou Art”. He also was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award in 1971.

Where No One Stands Alone

Once I stood in the night
With my head bowed low
In the darkness as black as could be
And my heart felt alone and I cried, "Oh Lord
Don't hide your face from me"
Like a king, I may live in a palace so tall
With great riches to call my own
But I don't know a thing
In this whole wide world
That's worse than being alone
Hold my hand all the way, every hour, every day
Come here to the great unknown
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no-one stands alone
Take my hand, let me stand
Where no-one stands alone
