Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't want to die
Though I long for the day when I'll have new birth
Still I love livin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Ezekiel
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
Lord smiled down on Isaac, gave him fifteen years to go
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, our Father heard him cry
He was brave until His death but He didn't wanna die
Lord I wanna go to heaven but I don't want to die
Though I long for the day when I'll have new birth
Still I love livin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Ezekiel
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
Lord smiled down on Isaac, gave him fifteen years to go
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, our Father heard him cry
He was brave until His death but He didn't wanna die
