Who made the mountains, who made the trees
Who made the rivers flow to the sea
And who sends the rain when the earth is dry
Somebody bigger than you and I
Who made the flowers to bloom in the spring
Who made the song for the robins to sing
And who hung the moon and the stars in the sky
Somebody bigger than you and I
He lights the way when the road is long
He keeps you company
And with His love to guide you
He walks beside you
Just like He walks with me
When we’re filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go from there
And who gives me faith that will never die
Somebody bigger than you and I

My favorite gospel song. 5 stars.
Lets face it, did Elvis ever record a poor gospel song? True, some are better than others, but there's real feeling in them all.
I don't like gospel songs in general, but this one I do like. His voice is so overwhelming in this song!
Yes a good one, although I felt this album was somewhat over produced with Elvis lost in the mix somewhere.
A beautiful sacred track from HGTA. This well-written song is sung perfectly and sincerely. 5 stars!
A gospel song I've always liked.Elvis' version is second to non.
This is such a beautiful song and it's my 2nd most favorite gospel song that Elvis ever recorded. My favorite Elvis gospel song is "Where No One Stands Alone".
What a voice, what a song, what feeling, totally majestic and brilliant.
Why we Love him so ! Such Feeling, such emotion, great vocals, what an arrangement, and what an amazing song !
This song has a great start. I also love the organ played by Henry Slaughter.
One of my favorite tracks from my favorite gospel LP. 5 stars.
