A Song for Friday Night! AND, MAN, DO WE NEED A SONG! I normally feature secular hit songs on Friday and Saturday evenings, but in light (or, darkness, rather) of yesterdays Obama-in-your-face dictatorship declaration, I figured you need a lift as much as we do. So, heres a song that transcends the evil crap were wading through in this world. Written in 1929 by Albert Brumley, Ill Fly Away is a much-loved Gospel standard. While it has been recorded by many, including Johnny Cash, this is my favorite version, which was featured on the soundtrack (but not in the film itself) of the delightful, 2000 picture, O Brother, Where Art Thou? performed by Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch. In this terrible, ever-darkening time in which we live, those of us who are sealed with the blood of our dear Savior, Jesus Christ, have every reason to rejoice and be glad, filled with thanksgiving, for the priceless gift weve been given. We must remember that all this awfulness is TEMPORARY! PRAISE BE TO GOD THE FATHER AND OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST WHO REDEEMED US FROM THE DEAD! Enjoy this lovely song and precious message that just might bring a grateful tear to your eye. Lyric: Some bright morning when this life is oer, Ill fly away; To that home on Gods celestial shore, Ill fly away. Ill fly away, Oh Glory Ill fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, Ill fly away. When the shadows of this life have gone, Ill fly away; Like a bird from these prison walls Ill fly, Ill fly away. Ill fly away, Oh Glory Ill fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, Ill fly away. Oh, how glad and happy when we meet Ill fly away; No more cold iron shackles on my feet Ill fly away Ill fly away, Oh Glory Ill fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, Ill fly away. Ill fly away, Oh Glory Ill fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, Ill fly away. Just a few more weary days and then, Ill fly away; To a land where joys will never end, Ill fly away. Ill fly away, Oh Glory Ill fly away; (in the morning) When I die, Hallelujah, by and by, Ill fly away. Ill fly away.
