I’ll fly away, oh Glory I’ll fly away
when I die Hallelujah by and by, I’ll fly away
According to the Godtube.com posting HERE,
“I’ll Fly Away” is a hymn written in 1929 by Albert E. Brumley and published in 1932…. It has been called the most recorded gospel song… It appears in many hymnals where it is listed under the topics of eternal life, heaven and acceptance. …
Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch do a wonderful job musically and this rendition HERE of I’ll Fly Away is no exception. The words, melody, harmony and instrumentals tell a great story of challenges and hope.
This song is frequently the closer for the Joyful Noise Boys as we fly away to our next activities. It usually elicits some grins from our “musical victims,” whether due to song familiarity, smiles on our faces, modulating on the last verse, flapping of the arms or some other reason. And isn’t that just what we need sometimes, even when in the midst of the shadows, weary times and ashes moments?
Enjoy the day, filled with the Spirit!
