Albert was picking cotton on his family farm when the words to the ‘I’ll Fly Away’ came into his mind. From that moment, it took Albert three more years to complete the classic hymn.
"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"
