I Wouldn't Take Nothin' for My Journey Lyrics

(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.

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...
