  • If I die, for the record, I want this song played at my funeral:


    I'll Fly Away Lyrics 

    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
    
I'll fly away

  • are you a fan of Third Day's remake of this hymn?  I love the song and the remake, although I must say, not being married yet means that I primarily listen to songs for their possibility to be played at my wedding, and not for the funeral procession. But maybe I'll keep that in mind as well.

  • This is my favorite song of all time!! It will be played at my funeral as well.

  • What fun! I first heard this song when we lived in Atlanta. Reading the lyrics I could hear and see again the congregation singing with big smiles and even bigger voices! Thanks for the reminder.
    Have a very Merry Christmas!

  • Just a great song!
