There's many a church down life's highway
Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul
But you'll find out that your silver and gold
(I want the Lord)
(My life down here, will soon be o'er )
(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)
To lead me on to the heavens home
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
(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)
(To lead me on, to the heavens home)
But it'll be to late to make your goal
To lead me on to the heavens home
So ask the Lord, to protect your soul
Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul
You'll cry, oh Lord, please let me in
(My life down here, will soon be o'er )
My life down here will soon be o'er
(Oh, I want the Lord, to protect my soul)
(I want the Lord)
And I want the Lord to protect my soul
Oh, I want the Lord to protect my soul
My life down here will soon be o'er
And 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
Why don't you stop at one and join the foll
(My life down here, will soon be o'er )
Where the people sing, rejoice and pray
(To lead me on, to the heavens home)
(And I want the Lord)
Won't pay the price to protect your soul
(My life down here, will soon be o'er )
(To lead me on, to the heavens home)
And I want the Lord to protect my soul
(And I want the Lord)
When this old world is doomed in sin
To lead me on to the heavens home
