Elvis's performance of "Peace In The Valley" on national TV may have been a conscious attempt to improve his image, but it sprang from Elvis's lifelong, fundamental love of church music. Recorded January 13, 1957 at Radio Recorders, Hollywood, first released on EP Peace In The Valley 1957. A big Easter push for Peace In The Valley provided another surprise hit, eventually selling over a half a million copies and leaving many wondering whether this artist could do no wrong.

     This was a request from John in memory of his Mom who passed away in June.
peace in the valley
Oh well, I’m tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the lord comes and calls, calls me away, oh yes
Well the morning's so bright
And the lamp is alight
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me

Well the bear will be gentle
And the wolves will be tame
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I'll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness, no sorrow
No trouble, trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, for me
