I’LL FLY AWAY LYRICS 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)
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)

Be blessed by this Number 1 Country Music Single of iconic country singer Randy Travis entitled Three Wooden Crosses. He performed this song live at the historic Grand Ole Opry stage. “Three Wooden Crosses” was named Song of the Year by the Country Music Association in 2003 and won a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association as Country Song of the Year in 2004.
The song describes four passengers – a farmer on vacation, a teacher seeking higher education, a hooker, and a preacher, both of whom were “searching for lost souls,” on a mid-night bus traveling from the United States to Mexico. The bus is involved in a fatal accident when the bus driver doesn’t see a stop sign and the bus is hit by an 18-wheeler which kills three of the four passengers.
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher Ridin’ on a midnight bus bound for Mexico One’s headed for vacation, one for higher education And two of them were searchin’ for lost souls That driver never ever saw the stop sign And eighteen wheelers can’t stop on a dime
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres The faith and love for growin’ things in his young son’s heart And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children Did her best to give ’em all a better start And that preacher whispered, “Can’t you see the Promised Land?” As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker’s hand
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, Heaven only knows I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That’s the story that our preacher told last Sunday As he held that blood-stained bible up For all of us to see He said “Bless the farmer, and the teacher, and the preacher Who gave this Bible to my mama Who read it to me”There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway Why there’s not four of them, now I guess we know It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you It’s what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the highway

WATCH this powerful rendition of the classic hymn “How Great Thou Art” by Gaither Homecoming gospel singers Reggie Smith, Wesley Pritchard, Shane McConnell, and Gene McDonald. This hymn was by Stuart K. Hine. He was a Bristish Methodist missionary on a mission trip in Ukraine in 1931 when he heard the Russian translation of a German song inspired by Carl Boberg’s poem “O Store Gud” (O Great God). Hine began to translate the song to English and added several verses. The third verse was inspired by the conversion of villagers in Russia who cried out to God loudly as the repented and realized God’s love and mercy – “And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.” Be blessed!
“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording contemporary Christian music in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the Gaither Homecoming videos.” (Source: Wikipedia)
O Lord my God, When I, in awesome wonder, Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made; I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus: Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When through the woods and forest glades I wander, And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees. When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing; Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on a Cross, my burdens gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation, And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart. Then I shall bow, in humble adoration, And then proclaim: “My God, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art. Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee, How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

This song was written by American poet and gospel music composer Robert Lowry (1826–1899). It was written in 1864 and is now in the public domain. The title “Hanson Place” is a reference to the original Hanson Place Baptist Church in Brooklyn, where Lowry, as a Baptist minister, sometimes served. The original building now houses a different denomination.
