I want the lord to protect my soul
Down lifes highway alone I’ve trod
I’ve always put my trust in god
But you’ll find out that you’re silver and gold
Won’t pay the price to protect your soul
I want the lord to protect my soul
To lead me on to heavens door
My life down here will soon be o’er
And I want the lord to protect my soul
There’s many a church down life’s highway
Where people sing rejoice and pray
I’ll stop at one and join the fold
And ask the lord to protect my soul
When this old world is doomed in sin
You’ll cry oh lord please lest me in
It will be to late to make it o’er
To ask the lord to protect your soul
