Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man
And his name was Isaac
He walked with God both day and night
But he didn't wanna die
He cried, "Oh Lord, please let me live
Death is close I know"
God smiled down on Isaac
And gave him fifteen years to go
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven
But I don't wanna die
So I long for the day
When I'll have new birth
Still I love the living here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
When Jesus lived here on this earth
He knew His father's plan
He knew that He must give His life
To save the soul of men
When Judas had betraied him
Our Father heard Him cry
He was brave until His death
But He didn't wanna die
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven
But I don't wanna die
So I long for the day
When I'll have new birth
Still I love the living here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
