When I die and they lay me to rest
I´m 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´s 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 that when you die
He´s gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
Recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That´s where you´re gonna go when you die
When you die and they lay you to rest
Gonna go to the place that´s the best
I´ve been a sinner you know I´ve sinned
But I´ve got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He´s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Set me up with the spirit in the sky
That´s 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
