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 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 when you die
he's gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
that 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, I've never sinned
I've got a friend in Jesus
so you know when I die
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
oh set me up with the spirit in the sky
that 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
go to the place that's the best
