Album "Love Letters from Elvis" - 1971

Somewhere out in empty space,
Long before the human race
Something stirred
A vast and timeless source began,
Intelligence was born and then
There was the world
Powers filled the Universe,
Matter formed and broke the curse
Of nothingness
Love became an ageless soul,
Nature reached her highest goal
And breathed the breath of life,
Everlasting life.

Well , creatures came from out of sight,
Daylight came from in the night
And all was good
Life became a master plan,
Love produced the perfect man
That understood
The image of the makers word
Worshiped him with all he had
But then one day
From in the depths an evil seed
Grew and manufactured greed,
That changed the way of life,
Everlasting life

Oh, the loving power looked and saw
Inside the heart of man a flaw
Began to grow
Well, the fires of hell began to burn
And so He sent His chosen Son
To let us know
That love had surely made us all
And hate would surely make us fall
So from the Cross
Well, He showed the world that dreadful day
That love could be the only way
Or all is lost of life,
Everlasting life

For life is love
And love is life.
