“I can’t accept this kingship thing because, to me, there’s only one, which is Christ.”
“O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.” Psalm 95:1-2
“There are many things about my father, Elvis Presley, that so many others and I can admire eternally. He rose from humble beginnings and when the realization of his dreams and aspirations exceeded all that he had imagined, it gave others hope – a new awareness of their own potential, whatever challenges they might be facing in life. With his success came the accolades and respect he deserved. However, the fame also brought with it a harsh kind of scrutiny and judgment that no one should ever have to experience. The truth of his artistry and his character always rose above this. It always will. His place in our musical and cultural history, and in so many hearts, will always be secure.
One of the very special aspects of Elvis Presley’s character was his generosity of spirit. He expressed it with benefit concerts and charitable donations that were well known by the public. But most of what he did for others was done quietly, without publicity. My father never once forgot what it was like to want, to need, to do without. He spent most of his life bringing happiness to others, endlessly giving to those around him. It is one of the things that I admire most about him.”

….actually I read your question wrong and thus originally answered with the first Grammy award Elvis WON (Best Sacred Performance for the album How Great Thou Art (1967)) ….however he was actually nominated for three Grammy awards in 1958, but didn’t win any of them….one Grammy nomination for “A Fool Such As I” (Record of The Year) and two nominations for “A Big Hunk of Love” (Best Performance by A Top 40 Artist and Best R&B Performance)…

Thanks for playing, everyone. The answer is not How Great Thou Art, G.I. Blues, or any of the other answers given so far. Keep trying!
Hint: Read the question carefully.
