WAS THERE
TO HEAR
YOUR BORNING
CRY”
1. “I was there to hear your borning cry, I’ll be there
when you are old. I rejoiced the day you were baptized to
see your life unfold. I was there when you were but a child,
with a faith to suit you well;
In a blaze of light you wandered off to
find where demons dwell.” 2. “When you heard the wonder of the Word I was there to
cheer you
on; You were raised to praise the living
Lord, to whom you now belong. If you find someone to share your time
and you join your hearts as
one, I’ll be there to make your verses
rhyme from dusk till rising sun.” 3. “In the middle ages of your life, not too old, no
longer young, I’ll be there to guide you through
the night, complete what I’ve begun. When the evening gently closes in and
you shut your weary eyes, I’ll be there as I have always been
with just one more surprise.” 4. “I was there to hear your borning cry, I’ll be there
when you are old. I rejoiced the day you were baptized,
to see your life unfold.” ( o v e r ) COMMUNION HYMN: “Alleulia No. 1” Refrain:
