Longtime Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid delivered a mesmerizing cover of the beloved hymn "I’ll Fly Away.”

No one is destined to remain on Earth forever. Everyone’s time on this planet is limited. Sin was unleashed on the world with a bite of the fruit back in the Garden of Eden, and now all will face death at one time or another. It’s a sad and ironic part of life.  

However, the death of one’s physical body is most certainly not the end. After one’s time on Earth has expired, there are two destinations available, and we have a decision to make as to which place we go. Heaven has been set aside for those who have confessed their sins, accepted Christ into their hearts and lives, and turned away from their old ways, becoming new creatures in Christ.

While death is and likely always will be one of people’s greatest fears, it doesn’t have to be that way. There is much uncertainty surrounding death. However, as actor Dennis Quaid sings in a clip posted on YouTube, that does not have to be the case. 

Dennis performs an upbeat and energetic cover of the timeless and beloved tune “I’ll Fly Away.” It’s a song about knowing death is coming but looking at it joyfully because they know where they are headed once their life on Earth is over and done.

“I’ll fly away, oh glory

I will fly away in the morning

When I die, hallelujah by and by

I will fly away”

Everyone feels like they have plenty of time on Earth left. We may have decades or a few days – no one can be entirely sure how long their lives will last. No one is promised tomorrow. Why put accepting Christ and welcoming Him into your heart and life off? 

Romans 6:23 “For the reward of sin is death; but what God freely gives is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord.”
