I WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHING FOR MY JOURNEY
Words and Music by Jimmie Davis and Charles Goodman
I started out traveling for the Lord many years ago,
I had a lot of heartache, had a lot of grief and woe.
But when I'd stumble then I would humble down,
And I'd say, "Thank the Lord I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now"
CHORUS
No I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now,
I've got to make it to heaven somehow,
Though the Devil tempts me and he 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.
There's nothing in the world that will ever take the place of God's love,
Silver and gold couldn't buy a mighty touch from above,
When I begin kneeling, then I begin feeling his power,
And I can say, "Thank the Lord, I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now"
CHORUS
