Song Lyrics

When I die and
They lay me to rest
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
I'm 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
You're gonna go to
The spirit in the sky

Gonna go 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
You're gonna go to
The place that's the best

Never been a sinner
He never sinned
I 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
I'm gonna go to the place
That's the best

I'm gonna go to the place
That's the best
I'm gonna go to the place
That's the best
