Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now

Written by: Jimmie Davis and Rusty Goodman

 

Chorus

 

Well, I wouldn’t take nothin’ 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

 

Verse I

 

Well I started out a-travellin’ for the Lord many years ago

I had a lot of heartaches, met a lot of grief and woe

But when I would stumble, then I would humble down

And I can say thank the Lord I wouldn’t take nothin’ for my journey now

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Verse II

 

There’s nothin’ in the world that’ll ever take the place of God’s love

Silver and gold could never buy a mighty touch from up above

But when my soul needs a healin’ and I begin to feelin’ His power

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

 

Repeat Chorus, then:

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’…..…

If I could still I wouldn’t take nothin’ ….…

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