An Evening Prayer

Elvis Presley · He Touched Me

If I have wounded any soul today
If I have caused one foot to go
If I have lost in my own misery
Dear Lord forgive

Forgive a sin I have confessed to Thee
Forgive my secret sins I do
Oh God watch over me and my misery
Dear Lord, help me

An Evening Prayer

An Evening Prayer stands as a serene song in Elvis Presley's gospel catalog, recorded during a period when the King was deeply exploring spiritual themes. Featured on the 1969 album He Touched Me, the track showcases Presley's ability to convey profound emotion through a slower, more contemplative delivery. The recording captures the artist's signature vocal warmth, blending traditional gospel harmonies with the polished production values of his later career. This work reflects a significant shift toward religious subject matter that would define much of his subsequent output. As part of a broader discography that spans rock and roll to soulful ballads, the song remains a testament to Presley's enduring influence on American music and his mastery of the gospel genre.
