#12 Borning Cry. . . I fell in love with this hymn the first time I sang it. It is unique in that the lyrics age with you as you move through its stages of life.
John Ylvisaker is a poet extraordinaire, and I still get a little weepy eyed when we sing it at Calvary.
I’ve sung it three times at the river Jordan, which has been magical, but nothing compared with “just one more surprise” when, God willing, the evening of my life “gently closes in”.
