Faith In The Ozarks (From John Tilden)

I'll Fly Away

"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 prison walls I'll fly
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

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joys will never end
I'll fly away

Written by Albert E. Brumley, 1929

Above, the Wilderness Church is but one example of the role Christian faith plays in the Ozark culture.
