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
|
Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin' 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 betrayed him his father heard him cry
|
He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die hey.
