I used to listen to this in junior high when I was only allowed to listen to “Christian Music.”
Anyway, I now realize this song implies a false dichotomy: Heaven or Hell, and Christians know they are going to Heaven. But the reality is there are many different afterlives proposed by various people and religions, and even Christians disagree about who goes where. I believe Stephen Fry said, “Anyone who tells me where I am going when I die is either a liar or a fool, because THEY DO NOT KNOW.”
