I WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHIN' FOR MY JOURNEY NOW

Composed by Hoby Lister

Chorus:
(C)Well, I wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now,
I'm (F)gonna make it to Heaven somehow,
(C)Though the devil tempt me and try to turn me (G)around,
He's (C)offered everything that's got a name,
All the (F)wealth I want, and worldly fame
But if I (C)could, still I wouldn't take
(G)Nothin' for my (C)journey now

Well, I started out travellin' for the (G)Lord many years (C)ago
I had a lot of heartache, (G)met a lot of grief and (C)woe (C7)
But (F)when I would stumble, then I would humble (C)down (Am)
And I can (C)say, thank the Lord I wouldn't (G)take
Nothin' for my (C)journey now

[Repeat Chorus]

(C)Well, there's nothin' in the world that could
(G)Ever take the place of God's (C)Love,
All the silver and gold could never
(G)Buy a mighty touch from (C)Abov(C7)e,
But when my (F)soul needs healin'
And I begin to feelin' His (C)po(Am)wer,
I can (C)say thank the Lord I wouldn't
(G)Take nothin' for my (C)journey now

[Repeat Chorus]

But if I (C)could, still I wouldn't take
(G)Nothin' for my (C)journey now...
But if I (C)could, still I wouldn't take
(G)Nothin' for my (F)journey now... (C)
