Artist/Band: Elvis Presley
Lyrics for Song: In My Father's House
Lyrics for Album: His Hand in Mine



In my fatherÂ’s house are many mansions
If it were not true he would have told me so
He has gone away to live in that bright city
HeÂ’s preparing me a mansion there I know

Jesus died upon the cross to bear my sorrow
Freely died that souls like you might have new life
But I know that soon thereÂ’ll come a bright tomorrow
When the world will all be free from sin and strife

(do not shun the saviors love, from up in glory)
(or you wonÂ’t be there to sing the gospel story)
In my fatherÂ’s house are many mansions
If youÂ’re true then to this land youÂ’ll surely go


In My Father's House

Recorded in 1960, "In My Father's House" stands as a poignant song in Elvis Presley's early discography, appearing on the album *His Hand in Mine*. The track exemplifies the artist's transition from rock and roll to a more mature, soulful sound, blending gospel influences with a tender vocal delivery that became a hallmark of his later work. Released during a period where Elvis was increasingly exploring religious themes and deeper emotional expression, the song reflects his growing connection to spiritual subjects. While not one of his most commercially dominant singles, it remains a significant piece of his catalog, showcasing his versatility and the depth of his songwriting interpretations. The recording captures a specific moment in his career where the King of Rock and Roll was refining his artistry beyond the boundaries of his earlier hits.
