The Detty Sisters, a talented family ensemble from Ohio, touched hearts with their soul-stirring live performance of the beloved gospel song ‘I’ll Fly Away.’
Each of us has thought about what happens when our time on earth ends. For those who trust in Jesus, death isn’t something to fear – it’s the doorway to endless joy in His presence.
This truth comes alive when we hear songs about our future home in heaven, sung with real faith and joy.
‘I’ll Fly Away,’ penned by Albert E. Brumley in 1929, remains one of gospel music’s most popular songs. Brumley wrote this uplifting hymn during his days picking cotton on his family farm, finding inspiration in an old tune called ‘The Prisoner’s Song.’
His creation speaks to every believer’s hope of trading life’s burdens for heaven’s glory, much like a bird soaring free into the sky.
The Detty family brings together mother Amber and her four daughters in perfect harmony – Peyton (16), Cadie (14), Lily (10), and little Sophia (8).
Their performance shows how God’s gifts flow through families, as their voices blend in ways that only years of singing together can create. Each note carries the warmth of their family bond and their love for this timeless hymn.
It’s moving to see these sisters, still in their childhood and teenage years, sing with such clear understanding about heaven’s promise.
We might worry about death sometimes – it’s natural. But watching these sisters sing reminds us that saying goodbye to earth means saying hello to something far better.
The way they sing ‘I’ll Fly Away’ helps us look forward to heaven with happy hearts instead of fear. Their music points us to the amazing truth that while we’re just passing through this world, we have an eternal home waiting.
