VU 644 – I Was There to Hear Your Borning Cry. This beautiful hymn assures us of God’s presence throughout life, and beyond. Author and composer John Carl Ylvisaker wrote it for an American Lutheran Church video resource on baptism in 1985. It is now found in English language hymn books around the world. In addition to being an artist and composer, Ylvisaker’s past experience includes teaching high school music, directing church choirs, and serving as the producer of SCAN, an award-winning weekly radio program sponsored by the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). He also has composed much of the original music for Lutheran Vespers radio broadcasts and ELCA videos, as well as theme songs for gatherings and events. He continues to inspire audiences with his live performances and worship leadership at the many assemblies, conferences, and gatherings where he appears. Currently he is involved in producing printed and recorded resources of his work. His copyrights cover more than 1,000 songs.
