When I die and they lay me to rest
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

That's where I'm gonna go when I die
When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best


Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus

So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky


Recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest

Gonna go to the place that's the best

I've been a sinner you know I've sinned

But I've got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky


Set me up with the spirit in the sky
That's where I'm gonna go when I die

When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
