Words to What a Way to GO

There is this older Southern Gospel song that just ministers to me
but over the years have lost the words and who wrote it.

"The Bible tells us of a prophet who obeyed God's command. He accepted every challenge no matter how loud Satan roared. And when it came his time for leaving he didn't just lay there and die but
he proved once again that the devil was defeated

What a way to go
What a way to go
Red carpet is rolled out down the streets of gold
What a way to go

I know I must have butchered the way this song goes but it's meant just for an idea of how it goes.
If anyone can help I sure would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

I remember hearing that. I will see if I can find the lyrics.

Is this it?

What A Way To Go

The Bible tells us of a prophet
who walked in power from the Lord
He accepted every challenge
No matter how loud Satan roared
And when it came his time for leaving
Elijah didn't lay down and die
He proved once again Satan is defeated
As he was swept away on a chariot of fire

What a way to go
What a way to go
Escorted by angels right through heaven's door
What a way to go

What a way to go
What a way to go
Red carpet is rolled out
Right to streets of gold
What a way to go

As the dear old saint lies on her death bed
Her strength is almost gone
With all the family gathered around her
She says I'm leaving here but not alone
I see a great host of angels
My Lord, they're coming to take me home
And as she closed her eyes, they swept her away
What a way to go!

(Tag on second chorus)
And when that last trumpet sounds
We're gonna leave the ground
Rising through the clouds where
We'll meet him in the air
(repeat chorus)
