When I die and they lay me to rest
I gonna go the place that is the best
When they lay me down to die
I gonna go up to the spirit in the sky
(repeat)

Thats where I am gonna go when I die
When I die and lay me to rest
I gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself, you know it's a must
Got to have a friend in jesus
So that when you die
He can recommend you to the spirit in the sky
(repeat)

Thats where you go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
Your gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner, I never sin
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
(repeat)

Thats where I go when I die
When they lay me down to rest
I am going to the place that is the best
(repeat)
