Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven Songtext
von Mark Lowry

Everybody wants to go to heaven
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die

Once upon a time there lived a man
His name was Hezekiah
He walked with God both day and night
But he didn′t want to die
He cried, "O Lord, please let me live!
Death is close, I know"
God smiled down on Hezekiah
And gave him fifteen years to go

Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Lord, I want to go to heaven
But I don't want to die
Well, I long for the day when I have new birth
But I love living here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die


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 man
When Judas had betrayed Him
His Father heard Him cry
He was brave until His death
But He didn't want to die

Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Lord, I want to go to heaven
But I don't want to die
Well, I long for the day when I have new birth
But I love living here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die

Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Lord, I want to go to heaven
But I don′t want to die
Well, I long for the day when I have new birth
But, Lord, he loves it here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But nobody wants to die
