"The Miracle of the Rosary" 1971 by Elvis

Fr Nicholas Schofield from England has this url in one of the comments on his blog ...
I have been listening to it as it plays over and over and over... I have for some reason been 'near tears' since last night (don't ask me why... I don't know... just one of those times, I guess... ) but this hasn't helped... it is really beautiful, especially when one knows that Elvis was NOT Catholic!

On that website is also a version of how this came to be recorded. The song is by Lee Denson

From Fr's blog:

Elvis recorded a song called 'The Miracle of the Rosary' in 1971 (issued on the 1972 album, Elvis Now), with the lyrics:

'O Blessed Mother we pray to thee
Thanks for the miracle of your Rosary
Only you can hold back/Your holy son's hand
Long enough for the whole world to understand

Hail, Mary full of grace/The Lord is with thee
Blessed are thou among women
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
O Holy Mary dear mother of God
Please pray for us sinners
Now and at the hour of our death

And give thanks once again
For the miracle of your rosary'.


God bless!
