Everybody wants to go to heaven

Everybody wants to go to heaven Lyrics

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 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.

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 livin' 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...
