I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now

(Album: Connie Smith Sings Great Sacred Songs - 1966)

(I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now)

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 healing and I being to feeling his power
I can say thank the Lord I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now

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 nothing for my journey now

Well, I started out traveling 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

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 nothing for my journey now

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 nothing for my journey now

I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now
