When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best
When I lay me down to die
Goin' up to the spirit in the sky
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
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

Gonna recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go 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 never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He's gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky
Oh, set me up with 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
Go to the place that's the best

I cry every time I hear this song. My brother had been in the Army for 13 years and had been a Green Beret. This was his favorite song. He was killed in 1989 in a tragic accident. This song was played at his funeral.

i've heard this song many times throughout the past forty years and I have loved it from the first time I heard it. Several months ago my cousin died and after the calling hours when I got in my car to leave this song came on the radio. It was just what I needed to hear and the perfect sendoff to a wonderful man who is greatly missed by all who knew him. Every time I've heard the song since then I look to the heavens and send off a quick ****o.
