Lord Protect My Soul - Bill Monroe

Down life’s highway

All alone I’ve trod, I always put my trust in God

But you’ll find out that your silver and gold

Won’t pay the price to protect your soul

Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul

(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)

To lead me on to the heavens home

(To lead me on, to the heavens home)

My life down here will soon be o’er

(My life down here, will soon be o’er)

(I want the Lord)

And I want the Lord, to protect my soul

There’s many a church down life’s highway

Where the people sing, rejoice and pray

Why don’t you stop at one and join the foll

And ask the Lord, to protect your soul

Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul

(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)

To lead me on to the heavens home

(To lead me on, to the heavens home)

My life down here will soon be o’er

(My life down here, will soon be o’er)

(I want the Lord)

And I want the Lord to protect my soul

When this old world is doomed in sin

You’ll cry, oh Lord, please let me in

But it’ll be to late to make your goal

So ask the Lord, to protect your soul

Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul

(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)

To lead me on to the heavens home

(To lead me on, to the heavens home)

My life down here will soon be o’er

(My life down here, will soon be o’er)

(And I want the Lord)

And I want the Lord to protect my soul

Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul

(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)

To lead me on to the heavens home

(To lead me on, to the heavens home)

My life down here will soon be o’er

(My life down here, will soon be o’er)

(And I want the Lord)

And I want the Lord to protect my soul, my weary soul
