| 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 |
