Spirit in the Sky

Norman Greenbaum

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
28

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 understood what he was singing and I
just believed in Jesus at that time, as a ten-
year-old girl.

FATHER GOD TEACHES ME

Throughout my adult life I have
experienced Father God teaching me, Himself.
Please see what Jesus said in the book of John
in the Holy Bible:


Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the
Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will
raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:45 It is written in the prophets, And they
shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore
that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father,
cometh unto me.

29


These two verses from the Bible describe
what happened to me. I did not go back to a
church. This verse says that Jesus promises
to receive you if you hear His Father’s voice
and learn from listening to God. This promise
explains how people who have never heard of
Jesus nor have they read the Bible but yet they
still come to Jesus and obtain salvation.
Salvation is much more than just living
forever with God after we die. When we
“salvage” something we take it from the
garbage heap and restore it back to a useful
life. Salvation leads to a life that is whole again
and full of peace, joy, and nothing lacking. By
listening to God’s voice and coming to Jesus,
we are meant to live a life full of wonder even
before we die. Jesus promises to lift us up at
the last day. The “lifting up” is called
resurrection. Resurrection here means when
the last day of living on Earth comes, Jesus will
give us everlasting life in a new indestructible
body.
We are meant to hear the voice of Father
God. God draws us to Him and then teaches us
how to live, Himself. When we obey God’s
voice then we also come to Jesus. Jesus says
in verse 45 above, that all shall be taught by
30

God Himself. I was drawn to God at age 10 by
that song and when the time was right, I then
began to hear His voice and obey Him.

JESUS SAID “I WILL”

I did have one particular incident during
the time that I was still in college, in the late
1970’s. I was driving home on the highway and
thinking to myself about all that I would have to
do the next semester. I had to work my job and
go to school, and I said to myself, “Jesus will
help me”. While I was saying those words,
when I got to the word “help”, I heard Jesus
say in my mind, “I will” before I said the word,
“me”. So, at that moment I knew for certain
that Jesus was real and alive and that I could
hear His voice in my mind.
