G C G

G                                D               D
Everybody wants to go heaven but nobody wants to die

[Verse 1]

G                                          D             G
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Hezekiah
                                             D              G
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't want to die
                                        C                G
He cried, “Oh Lord, please let me live” death is close I know
                                         D                G
God smiled down on Hezekiah and gave him fifteen years to go


[Chorus]

G                                D               G
Everybody wants to go heaven but nobody wants to die
                                 C               D
Lord, I want to go to heaven but I don't want to die
G                                                    C
Well I long for the day when I'll have new birth but I like living here on Earth
G                                D               G
Everybody wants to go heaven but nobody wants to die

G                                            D                 G
When Jesus lived here on the Earth, well, He knew His Father's plan
                                       D                 G
He knew that He would give His life to save the souls of men
                                 C                G
When Judas had betrayed Him, the Father heard Him pray
                                    D              G
He was brave until His death but He didn't want to die

Lord, I want to go to heaven but I don't want to die
G                                                    C
Well I long for the day when I'll have new birth but I like living here on Earth
