Lord Protect My Soul - 1950 Single Version

Down life's highway, all alone I've trod
I've 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 (oh, I want the Lord)
To protect my soul (to protect my soul)
To lead me on (to lead me on)
To heavens home (to the heavens home)
My life down here (my life down here)
Will soon be over (will soon be over)
And 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 (oh, I want the Lord)
To protect my soul (to protect my soul)
To lead me on (to lead me on)
To heavens home (to the heavens home)
My life down here (my life down here)
Will soon be over (will soon be over)
And 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"
It'll be too late to make your goal
So ask the Lord to protect your soul

Oh, I want the Lord (oh, I want the Lord)
To protect my soul (to protect my soul)
To lead me on (to lead me on)
To heavens home (to the heavens home)
My life down here (my life down here)
Will soon be over (will soon be over)
And I want the Lord (and I want the Lord)
To protect my soul

Oh, I want the Lord (oh, I want the Lord)
To protect my soul (to protect my soul)
To lead me on (to lead me on)
To heavens home (to the heavens home)
My life down here (my life down here)
Will soon be over (will soon be over)
And I want the Lord (and I want the Lord)
To protect my soul (my weary soul)
