(Verse 1)
Everbody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.
Once upon a time, there lived a man, and his name was Hesiciah,
He walked with God both day and night, but he didn't want to die.
He cried, "Oh Lord, let me live, death is close I know",
God smiled down on Hesiciah, He gave Him fifteen years to go.

(Chorus)......
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 had a new birth, 'cause a I love livin' here on
earth.
Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die.

(Verse 2)
When Jesus lived here on this earth, He knew His Father's plan.
He knew that He must give His life, to save this old loved man.
When Judas had betrayed Him, the Father heard Him cry
He was brave until His death, but He didn't want to die.

(Chorus)......
