I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)
[Chorus]
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).
Life's not quite as weary when singing
I love that song.
ReplyDeleteAt my Uncle Buddy's funeral service this past summer, to start it all off one of my cousins (I think), walked to the front of the church, strummed his guitar and just started singing this song. Everybody sang along -- the sopranos took the echo parts, everything. On all sides all I could see were people smiling.
I felt like I was in "O Brother, Where Art Thou" for a minute. I'll never forget it.
I hope that today you are less weary. I wish I could help, somehow.
you just did sweet annie...how is it that I get to have such a dear friend? You just need to come down here and teach me how to be a better mama. And I am picturing this story in my mind, it's beautiful, I mean it's just the most hopeful little song I know.
