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   Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin' here on earth   Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.      --- Guitar Instrumental ---      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 betrayed him his father heard him cry   He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die hey.      --- Mandolin - Fiddle Instrumental ---      Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die   Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't wanna die   Well, I long for the day when I'll have new birth 'cause I love the livin' here on earth   Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.      Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die...
