"Most people say that they want the Kingdom, but they love the kingdoms of this world too much to take the Kingdom of Heaven."



"Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die,
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die,
Once upon a time there lived a man and his name was Hezekiah,
He walked with God both day and night but he didn't wanna die,
He cried oh Lord please let me live death is close I know,
God smiled down on Hezekiah and gave him fifteen years to go."

"Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die.
Lord I wanna go to heaven, but I don't wanna die
So I long for the day when I'll have new birth
still I love the livin' here on earth
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die"

Very good poem. And King Hezekiah, so totally needed all the ills that came upon him, for that was the way for him to see how far he strayed from being a good king...
