Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the Spirit in the sky

I'm 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
You gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you to the Spirit in the sky

You know I'm a sinner, we've all sinned
But I got a a friend in Jesus
