I Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now

(Jimmie Davis - Charles R. Goodman)



(I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.)



There's nothing in the world that'll ever take the place of God's love

All the silver and gold could never buy a mighty touch from above

When my soul needs a healin' and I being to feelin' his power

I can say thank the Lord I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.



Well, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now

I'm gonna make it to heaven somehow

Though the devil tempts me and tries to turn me around

He's offered everything that's got a name

All the wealth I want and worldly fame

If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now.

Well, I started out travelin' for the Lord many years ago

I've had a lot of heartaches met a lot of grief and woe

And when I would stumble then I would humble down

And there I would say thank the Lord

I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.



Well, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now

I'm gonna make it to heaven somehow

Though the devil tempts me and tries to turn me around

He's offered everything that's got a name

All the wealth I want and worldly fame

If I could still I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now.
