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's 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. 
 
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 
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 
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best. 
 
Never been a sinner I never sinned 
I got a friend in Jesus 
So you know that 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's 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 
Oh 
Set me 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 
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best 
Goin' on 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 
I'm gonna go to the place that's the best 
Go to the place that's the best 
Go to the place that's the best 
Go to the place that's the best.
