Elvis Presley lookalike Elliot James Reay turned in a soulful rendition of “Crying in the Chapel,” a gospel tune Elvis sang.

Elvis Presley still remains one of the most influential and recognizable people in entertainment even decades after his death. His music is still widely played, listened to and covered by other musicians. Every year, hundreds of thousands visit his iconic mansion, Graceland, in Memphis, Tennessee.

Elvis, with his iconic sound and style, changed music forever. Many people still try to emulate and replicate this style and sound to this day. Elliot James Reay is one of those musicians who often tries to mimic the sound of the King of Rock and Roll and usually does so with scary accuracy.

In a clip posted on YouTube, Elliot sings another tune previously performed by Elvis, “Crying in the Chapel.” It’s a gospel song, but unlike the title may imply it’s not a sad song. Instead, it’s a tune about one man coming to and finding happiness and contentment in the Lord Jesus Christ. The lyrics, much like the vocal performance, are beautiful.

The song’s opening verse paints a scene and a place that likely many Christians have found themselves at one time or another.

“You saw me crying in the chapel

The tears I shed were tears of joy

I know the meaning of contentment

Now I’m happy with the Lord”

So many people are desperately looking for happiness, contentment and peace. They look everywhere and continually come up empty until they turn to the Lord Jesus and give everything to Him. It’s this constant search for peace of mind and contentment and true happiness, and ultimately finding it in Jesus Christ that “Crying in the Chapel” so perfectly describes.

How much pain and suffering could people save themselves if they would turn to the Lord sooner rather than later?

Romans 10:13 “For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
