Sobre el álbum
Con He Touched Me, de 1972, Elvis Presley entrega su tercer y último álbum de estudio dedicado a la música góspel. En este trabajo, el artista vuelve a sumergirse en el género musical que más amaba y que mejor le permitía expresar su fe. El disco le valió su segundo premio Grammy.
El sonido del álbum es de un góspel contemporáneo, con una producción que fusiona los coros y los arreglos tradicionales con el pop y el country. El disco es de una gran belleza y de una profunda carga espiritual.
La interpretación de Elvis Presley es de una sinceridad y una pasión que desarman. Su voz, en este contexto, suena más comprometida y emotiva que nunca. La canción que da título al disco, "He Touched Me", es un ejemplo perfecto de esta devoción.
'He Touched Me' es una obra maestra del góspel, un testimonio de que, para Elvis Presley, esta música era mucho más que un género; era un refugio para el alma.

Letra
Shackled by a heavy burden 'Neath a load of guilt and shame Then the hand of Jesus touched me And now I am no longer the same He touched me, Oh, He touched me And Oh the joy that floods my soul Something happened and now I know He touched me and made me whole Since I met this blessed Savior And since he cleaned and made me whole I never cease to praise Him I'll shout it while eternity rolls Oh He touched me, oh He touched me And oh the joy that floods my soul Something happened and now I know He touched me and made me whole. - I've Got Confidence2:20
- Amazing Grace3:32
Letra
Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found, Was blind but now I see 'Twas Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come 'Tis Grace has brought me safe thus far And Grace will lead me home The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures Yet, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, A life of joy and peace. When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we've first begun - Seeing Is Believing2:50
- He Is My Everything2:38
Letra
I long to be His possession Oh, He is my everything I remember my days of darkness Without sunshine or sight to lead the way But a whisper of His voice softly calling To the arms of my Maker to stay He is my reason for living, Oh He is the king of all kings I long to be His possession, Oh, He is my everything After the lighting and thunder After the last bell has rung I want to bow down before Him And hear Him say well done He is my reason for living Oh He is the king of all kings I long to be His possession Oh, He is my everything - Bosom of Abraham1:34
Letra
Well you rock my soul Down in the bosom of Abraham Rock, rock, rock down in the bosom of Abraham He rocks my soul down in the bosom of Abraham Well a rich man lives, He lives so well Children, when he dies on a lonely hill Why don't you rock my soul in the bosom of Abraham - An Evening Prayer1:52
Letra
If I have wounded any soul today If I have caused one foot to go If I have lost in my own misery Dear Lord forgive Forgive a sin I have confessed to Thee Forgive my secret sins I do Oh God watch over me and my misery Dear Lord, help me. - Lead Me, Guide Me2:39
- There Is No God But God2:17
- A Thing Called Love2:22
Letra
Six foot six stood on the ground, weighted 235 pounds But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love He was the kind of man who would gamble on love Look you in the eye and never back up But I saw him crying like a little whipped pup because of love Can't see it with your eyes, hold it in your hands Like the rules that govern our land Strong enough to rule the heart of every man, this thing called love It can lift you up, it can put you down Take your world and turn it all around Ever since time nothing's ever been found stronger than love Men like me they worry and doubt Trouble their minds day in and day out Too busy a livin' to worry about a thing called love And then I see a mother's tenderness As she holds her young close to her breast Then I say thank God this world will win with the thing called love. - I, John2:14
- Reach Out to Jesus3:12
