“Spirit in the Sky” — Norman Greenbaum

The lyrics include,

I've never been a sinner, I've never sinned.
I've got a friend in Jesus.
It seems as though the writer was attempting to create a gospel song, but he displays hie ignorance of Christian teachings and beliefs.

Taken as a whole the song sends a very positive Christian message.

Correct. Greenbaum is an avant garde hippie/Jewish type. He just writes what he feels like writing. I am partial to "Canned Ham" however, and when I have my own nationally syndicated radio show, the opening will be my theme.
