Borning Cry

Here's one I play in church, and I've been known to use it as filler. "I was there to hear your borning cry" by John Ylvisaker. Some think of it as a tear jerker for Christians, but it is such a beautiful melody.

I love this song. I heard it for the first time Easter Sunday morning. Do you happen to know, or does any one know where I can down load a vocal version of it for my ipod. I can find all kinds of musical versions, but I would like the full meal deal.

Good job by the way.

A quick search at iTunes found a lot of instrumentals, but at least one vocal Jacque Darragh. Keep looking this is a standard that I have on other worship CDs. Thanks for the kind words.

Written by John Ylvisaker born 1937. He said that those born 1937 and after had rock and roll in high school and they have a different range of music experience than those earlier. I think he and Martin Luther will go down in Lutheran History as the 2 most prolific contributors to music and lyrics, song and hymn.

I first heard this song over the summer at my nephew's christening...BEAUTIFUL!!
