I think the two songs that pdq posted above are not the one GUEST,linzy wanted. This should be it (my transcription from Spotify):


DON’T YOU WANT TO GO TO HEAVEN?
As recorded by Wayne Raney on “20 Old Time Gospel Favorites” (2005)

1. Your mansion up in heaven won’t cost you a dime,
But a call through to Jesus can spend a little time.
God will buy the insurance protection for your soul
And prepare for a visit, walk up the streets of gold.

2. Don’t you want to go to heaven? Don’t you want to see the King?
Don’t you want to have a mansion? Don’t you want to shout and sing?
Just leave it all to Jesus; he’ll show you the way.
All you have to do is get on your knees and pray.

3. On earth we build a building; the years will make it old.
We set a price upon it; for money it can be sold;
But when we get to heaven, our mansion will be bright,
And shining new throughout eternal life.

REPEAT VERSE 2.
