Some bright morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To that home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from these
prison walls I'll fly
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Oh, how glad and happy
when we meet
I'll fly away
No more cold iron shackles
on my feet
I'll fly away
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, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
Just a few more weary
days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never
end
I'll fly away
I'll fly away, oh glory
I'll fly away in the morning
When I die, Hallelujah by and by
I'll fly away
The Story Behind I'll
Fly Away
Albert E. Brumley has been described as
the "pre-eminent gospel songwriter" of the 20th century with
over 600 published songs. According to interviews, Brumley came up with
the idea for "I'll Fly Away" while picking
cotton on his father's farm in Rock Island, Oklahoma.
Brumley says that as he worked he was
"humming the old ballad that went like this: 'If I had the wings of an
angel, over these prison walls I would fly,' and suddenly it dawned on me that
I could use this plot for a gospel-type song." The song Brumley
described appears to be "The Prisoner's Song".
It was an additional three years later
until Brumley worked out the rest of the song, paraphrasing one line from the
secular ballad to read, "Like a bird from prison bars has flown"
using prison as an analogy for earthly life. Brumley has stated,
"When I wrote it, I had no idea that it would become so universally
popular."
1st Thessalonians 4:17 - Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up
together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall
always be with the Lord.
