*******

'Born Anew' is from my first collection of folk-hymns, 'Songs of Brotherhood'. The fourteen titles were published in 1966 by J. Albert & Son, Sydney. The publication was music-book only. None of the songs was recorded by me at that time. Later, in 1985, I recorded the two most popular titles, 'Fill My House' and 'The Beatitudes' for my album 'Where Is Your Song, my Lord?' .

BORN ANEW was not recorded until 2003 and that is the version heard here. It was included on my album 'Growing in God' (CD & Music Book).

In revisiting the song, I made some changes to the original lyrics - partly to avoid gender-exclusive language.

lyrics

BORN ANEW
1. Make me your brother, sister and friend.
Make me a part of your life till its end.
Accept me in full whatever I be
Whatever my race, whatever my creed.

2. I would give every hour, give all of me,
Give all I own so please won't you be
Open to all the love that I bear,
The love that our God would have us all share.

3. And then we will laugh, then we will sing,
Then like bells all the planets will ring.
For we will have life, all born anew,
Born in the love we hold to be true.

COMMENTS: A particularly lovely version of the song. I found myself singing parts I must have once learned, taking off at ... "and then we will laugh"... I also became miserably nostalgic for those old days of community!” (Christine Smith)
