The Detty Sisters shone in their joyful live performance of “I’ll Fly Away.” The musically gifted singers gave a fantastic rendition of the beloved song that is near and dear to the hearts of many. Watch the short but delightful clip of the young women performing “I’ll Fly Away.”

Earth is not our permanent home. While no one is promised tomorrow, most people, given their diet, genetics and activity level, will likely spend 70 to 80 years on this planet. In the grand scheme of things, that’s not much time at all. Our time on Earth is nothing more than a pit stop along the way to eternity.

Yes, death is something that we’ll all experience and encounter at one time or another. And no one can be entirely sure what happens after taking your last breath on Earth. However, while many unknowns surround dying, it does not have to be something we fear.  In fact, for those who know where they are headed after their time on Earth is over, death can be something to be embraced.

In a clip posted on YouTube, The Detty Sisters performed a joyful, upbeat tune about death, leaving this Earth behind and looking forward to what lies ahead in the next life. Of course, the song they sang was “I’ll Fly Away.”

The talented young ladies beautifully sing the song, which many are more than familiar with and know. But that familiarity does not dampen or lessen the song’s message in the slightest. Those who are saved and know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior do not have to fear death. They can look forward to being on “God’s celestial shore,” as the lyrics mention.

Yes, death is a scary thought, given the number of unknowns surrounding it. But what do we have to fear? We have a Savior who conquered sin, death and the grave.

Colossians 3:16 “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
