Stand By Me

"Stand by Me" is a traditional gospel song that has been performed by various artists, including a notable rendition by Elvis Presley. The song, distinct from the Ben E. King hit of the same name, is a plea for divine support and presence.
Elvis Presley recorded "Stand by Me" for his 1966 gospel album How Great Thou Art. This album was highly acclaimed and won a Grammy Award for Best Sacred Performance.
The song's lyrics are a heartfelt plea for God's presence and support through life's trials and tribulations. The central theme revolves around faith and trust in God during difficult times:
"When the storms of life are raging, stand by me. When the world is tossing me like a ship upon the sea, Thou who rulest wind and water, stand by me."
Elvis's rendition of "Stand by Me" is praised for its emotional depth and powerful vocal delivery. It showcases his gospel roots and his ability to convey deep spiritual sentiments through music. The song remains a beloved gospel classic, cherished for its uplifting message and soulful melody.
This is my rendition of that great song, and I hope that you enjoy it and listen to the words.
