I Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now
(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 healing
And I being to feeling 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 nothing 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

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

I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now
