Here is the bible study to go along with this song:
WE DON’T GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL WHEN WE DIE

• [Intro]
• Where are the ones we love
  When they close their eyes?
  Are they watching from heaven?
  Are they somewhere beyond the skies?
• The Scriptures give an answer,
  A hope that we can keep—
  They haven't gone away forever...
• They're only asleep.
• 
  
• [Verse 1]
• The living know their days will end,
  But the dead know nothing at all.
  No thoughts, no pain, no broken hearts,
  No hearing when we call.
• No work or knowledge in the grave,
  No sorrow running deep.
  Yahweh has given them their rest—
• In death they peacefully sleep.
• 
  
• [Pre-Chorus]
• Like Daniel said,
  They sleep in the dust.
  Like Lazarus rested
  Until Yeshua called him up.
• Death is not forever,
  The grave will lose its claim.
  There's coming a resurrection
  When Yeshua calls their name!
• 
  
• [Chorus ]
• We don't go to heaven or hell when we die,
  We rest in the grave till the trumpet cries!
  The dead are asleep, but they'll rise again,
  When Yeshua returns and the Kingdom begins!
• So don't say goodbye
  Like you'll never meet again.
  Death is only sleep—
  It is not the end!
• The grave cannot hold them!
  Death cannot win!
  Yeshua is coming—
  And they'll rise again!
• 
  
• [Verse 2]
• David died and David was buried,
  He did not ascend to heaven above.
  The faithful wait for resurrection,
  Resting in Yahweh's love.
• No immortal soul escaping,
  For the soul itself can die.
  Immortality is Yahweh's gift—
  Not something born inside.
• Yeshua is the firstfruits,
  The promise of what's to come.
  And those who sleep awaiting Him
  Will rise when He returns!
• 
  
• [Chorus]
• We don't go to heaven or hell when we die,
  We rest in the grave till the trumpet cries!
  The dead are asleep, but they'll rise again,
  When Yeshua returns and the Kingdom begins!
• So don't say goodbye
  Like you'll never meet again.
  Death is only sleep—
  It is not the end!
• The grave cannot hold them!
  Death cannot win!
  Yeshua is coming—
  And they'll rise again!
• 
  
• [Bridge]
• Our friend Lazarus sleeps...
  That's what Yeshua said.
• Then He told them plainly:
• "Lazarus is dead."
• Sleep...
• Waiting...
• Resting...
• Until the voice of Yeshua
  Calls the sleeping from their beds.
• One day that voice
  Will thunder across the earth—
• "AWAKE!"
• And graves will open!
• 
  
• [Build]
• The trumpet will sound!
  The dead shall be raised!
  Those sleeping in the dust
  Will awaken to His praise!
• Not when they died—
  But when Yeshua appears!
• The day we've been waiting for,
  The hope we've carried through the years!
• 
  
• [Final Chorus]
• WE DON'T GO TO HEAVEN OR HELL WHEN WE DIE!
  WE REST IN THE GRAVE TILL THE DEAD SHALL RISE!
  THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND!
  YESHUA WILL COME!
  AND THE SLEEPING WILL AWAKEN,
  EVERY FAITHFUL ONE!
• Death is not forever!
  The grave is not the end!
  Those we've loved and lost
  WE WILL SEE AGAIN!
• No more saying goodbye!
  No more tears in our eyes!
• THE GRAVE WILL OPEN!
  THE DEAD WILL RISE!
• 
  
• [Outro]
• So when you stand beside the grave
  Of someone that you love,
  Remember they're not watching
  From somewhere up above.
• They're resting...
• They're waiting...
• Safe from sorrow, pain, and weeping.
• Until the resurrection morning...
• They're only sleeping.
• [softly]
• Until Yeshua calls...
• "Awake."
