One Month Ago

It is one month ago tomorrow that I held Jerry Lou’s head in my left hand and her arm in my right while singing quietly in her ear, “I’ll Fly Away”. She flew away. I am not sure what compelled me to sing, but I did. One month, she has been with the Father, free. Sin and death can never again touch her as she worships and waits for the resurrection body that Paul tells us about in 1 Cor. 15.

Imagine it…

Free from the affects and effects of sin.

The enemy, death, with no more power.

Some glad morning when this life is o’er,
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

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)

Today, we wait as Jerry Lou’s Mother-in-law, Iris, Wanda’s grandmother, is longing to fly away, also.
