My Prayer For Elvis

Lord, we know you had your reasons
For taking him away,
But he was very dear to us,
So listen as I pray.

He gave us so much pleasure
In the short life that he had,
He was our greatest treasure;
The loss has hurt us bad.

We know that he's in heaven
And happy to be there,
It gives me consolation
To know he's in your care.

Dear Jesus, now I ask you
While I am on my knees,
While we're taking care of business,
Take care of Elvis, please.
