Upon My Soul Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

Be my staple and my stay 

Jesus, help through each day 

As I walk this weary way upon my soul 

And when judgment falls to me 

Through my savior shall I be 

Given peace eternally upon my soul 

Upon my soul 

Upon my free and joyous soul 

Given peace eternally upon my soul 

Jesus shine Your light on me 

Shine with love and charity 

That I might help brothers see upon my soul 

For temptation let me ply 

Be my wings, Lord, be my eyes 

Guard me when old Satan's nigh upon my soul 

Upon my soul 

Upon my free and joyous soul 

Guard me when old Satan's nigh upon my soul 

I shall fill each earthly day 

With the singing of His praise 

Follow in His holy ways upon my soul 

And when I lay my troubles down 

On my brow he'll place a crown 

And the trumpets all shall sound upon my soul 

Upon my soul 

Upon my free and joyous soul 

And the trumpets all shall sound upon my soul 

Upon my soul 

Upon my free and joyous soul 

And the trumpets all shall sound upon my soul
