| "Let Us Pray" was recorded March 5, 1969: Decca Universal Studio, Hollywood for Change Of Habit which would be the thirty-first and last of the Elvis Presley fiction films, and except for the up-front money Elvis and the Colonel received for it, it was an obvious commercial misfire. The script placed Elvis as an inner-city doctor against Mary Tyler Moore as a nun, but the 1968 TV special (and recordings like "In The Ghetto") had already put Elvis into the contempory world in a far more convivcing way. There was no soundtrack LP, no soundtrack EP, not even a single. There were just four songs, three cowritten by the ever-faithful Ben Weisman, all of them eventually slotted onto budget LP's. "Let Us Pray" first appeared on a budget religious album, YOU'LL NEVER WALK ALONE, in 1971. Elvis clearly saw some potential in the song because he tried eight takes at Universals Hollywood Studio in March 1969, then overdubbed another vocal in Nashville that September.
