Let Us Pray

Elvis Presley · TRIPLE FEATURE: Elvis Presley [2009]

Come praise the lord for he is good

Mmm come join in love and brotherhood

We'll hear the word and bring our gifts of bread and wine

And we'll be blessed beneath the sign



So let us pray together, pray together

Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice)

And let us sing together, sing together

Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)



When strangers reach out for your hand (for your hand)

Respond to them and understand (heaven obeyed to understand)

We'll rise as one to calm the storm outside the gate (calm the storm)

With faith in him we'll never leave (never leave)



So let us pray together, pray together

Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice)

And let us sing together, sing together

Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)



(we'll rejoice)

The love of God is on our side (love is, love is on our side)

We have the strength to move the tide (we'll move the tide)

The world will say so, there'll be peace and love for all (love for all)

And we must give our brothers love



So let us pray together, pray together

Pray with the one mighty voice (heavenly voice)

And let us sing together, sing together

Pray and we'll rejoice (we'll rejoice)



Love for all, love for all to the lord

We'll rejoice love for all to the lord

We'll rejoice love for all to the lord

We'll rejoice for the lord
