Lord Proect My Soul Songtext
von 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
And 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
