intro
(I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now.)
verse 1
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.
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.
verse 2
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'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.
--- Instrumental Interlude ---
verse 3
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.
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.
verse 4
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'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 5
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'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.
