Everybody wants to get to heaven & live in the sweet by & by
Everybody wants to get to glory & see that cabin in the sky
All the saints want to reach that city and drink from the river of life
All God's children want to get to heaven aint nobody wants to die

Everybody wants to see the savior come in his power and his might
Every one longs to be in the rapture but who wants to be crucified
No one's longing to be broken hearted humbled with tears in their eyes
All God's children wants the robe & crown aint nobody wants to die

Every Christian wants to sing a chorus and fly away just like I
All God's children wants to get to heaven aint nobody wants to die

All God's children wants to get to heaven aint nobody wants to die
