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 betraied him her father heard him cry
He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
