We Call on Him

(Karger / Weisman / Wayne)

Information:

Elvis recorded We Call on Him, a Fred Karger-Sid Wayne-Ben Weisman composition, on September 11, 1967, at RCA's Nashville studios. The single release never reached the Billboard charts, although it was briefly on the "Bubbling Under" list at #106. Despite the poor chart performance, some sources indicate that We Call on Him sold over a million copies.

Lyrics:

We call on Him whenever storm clouds gather
We call on Him to light our darkest day
Why must it be that only when we're lonely
And hopes are dim, we call on Him

1. Why don't we call on Him before we lose our way
To count our blessings and thank Him while we may

We call on Him when no-one else will answer
We ask of Him a reason to go on
When our cup of joy becomes a cup of sorrow
Filled to the brim, we call on Him

1. (repeat)
