WOULDN'T TAKE NOTHIN' FOR MY JOURNEY NOW

Words and Music: Jimmie Davis and Rusty Goodman

Intro: (G)-(C)-(F)-(C)

Chorus One:
Well, I (C)wouldn't take nothin' for my journey now,
(F)I'm gonna make it to Heaven somehow,
(C)Though the Devil tempt me and try to turn me (G)around,

All the (F)wealth I want, and worldly fame,
But if I (C)could, still I wouldn' take
(G)Nothing for my journey (C)now.

Well, I (C)started out travellin' for the (G)Lord many years (C)ago, (F)-(C)
I (C)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)
An' I can (C)say thank the Lord, I wouldn't (G)take
Nothin' for my (C)journey now! (G)

[Repeat Chorus]

(A)Well, there's (D)nothin' in the world
That'll (A)ever take the place of God's (D)Love.
All the silver and gold could (A)never buy
A mighty touch from (D)Above, (D7)

And I begin to feelin' His (D)po(Bm)wer,
I can (D)say thank the Lord, I wouldn't (A)take
Nothin' for my (D)journey now!

(A)nothin' for my journey (D)-(G)now!
