When I die and they lay me to rest
 Gonna go to the place that's the best
 When they lay me down to die
 Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
 Goin' up to the spirit in the sky (Spirit in the sky)
 That's where I'm gonna go when I die (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 (Spirit in the sky)
 Whoa he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
 That's where you're gonna go when you die (When you die)
 When you die, and they lay you to rest
 You're gonna go to the place that's the best
 Never been a sinner, I've never sinned
 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
 Woah, he'll set me up with the spirit in the sky
 That's where I'm gonna go when I die (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
