Chorus One:
Well, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now,
I'm gonna make it to Heaven somehow,
Though the Devil tempt me and try to turn me around,
He's offered everything that's got a name,
All the wealth I want, and worldly fame,
But if I could, still I wouldn' take nothing for my journey now.


Verse One:
Well, I started out travellin' for the Lord many years ago,
I had a lot of heartache, met a lot of grief and woe,
But when I would stumble, then I would humble down,
An' I can say thank the Lord, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now!

[Repeat Chorus]

Verse Two:
Well, there's nothin' 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,
But 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!

Chorus Two:
Well, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now,
I'm gonna make it to Heaven somehow,
Though the Devil tempt me and try to turn me around,
He's offered everything that's got a name,
All the wealth I want, and worldly fame,
But if I could, still I wouldn't take
Nothin' for my journey now!
But if I could, still I wouldn't take
Nothin' for my journey now!
But if I could, still I wouldn't take
Nothin' for my journey now!
[Journey now, journey now!]
