Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die   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   So I long for the day when I'll have new birth still I love the livin' here on earth   Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die   [ guitar ]   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 betraied him her father heard him cry   He was brave until his death but he didn't wanna die   Everybody wants to go to heaven...   Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
