As recorded by ELVIS PRESLEY
with The Jordanaires, 30th October 1960, Nashville:

(The steps that lead to any church)
(Form a stairway to a star)
(They're part of God and should be trod)
(More often than they are)

I believe in the man in the sky (The man in the sky)
I believe with His help I'll get by (His help I'll get by)
My footsteps may falter, my eyes may grow dim
But He's my Gibraltar, I'm trusting in Him

Though a sparrow is all I may be (Is all I may be)
On me He will still keep an eye
Yes, I'm singing His praise till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky

(Though a sparrow) Sparrow (is all I may be), sparrow am I
(On me He will still keep an eye) Keep an eye
Yes, I'm singing His praise till the end of my days
I believe in the man in the sky (Man in the sky)
