Well I wouldn't take nothin'
for my journey now
I've gotta make it
to heaven somehow
Though the devil tempts me
and he tries to turn me around
He's offered everythin'
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
There's nothin' in this world
that'll ever take
the place of God's love
Silver and gold
could never buy
a mighty touch from above
When my soul needs healin'
and I begin to feelin' his power
I can say thank the Lord
I wouldn't take
nothin' for my journey now
Well I wouldn't take nothin'
for my journey now
I've gotta make it
to heaven somehow
Though the devil tempts me
and he tries to turn me around
He's offered everythin'
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 started out travelin'
for the Lord many years ago
I've had a lot of heartache
I've had a lot of grief and woe
But when I would stumble
there I would humble down
Then I would say
I wouldn't take
nothin' for my journey now
Well I wouldn't take nothin'
for my journey now
I've gotta make it
to heaven somehow
Though the devil tempts me
and he tries to turn me around
He's offered everythin'
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 nothin'
for my journey now
I've gotta make it
to heaven somehow
Though the devil tempts me
and he tries to turn me around
He's offered everythin'
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
If I could still
I wouldn't take
nothin' for my journey now
