My father was a minister so I went to church regularly and even as a small child knew the words to almost all the hymns. When we visited my grandmother where my youngest aunt was still living at home she and I used to sit in the porch swing and take turns choosing hymns to sing. One of her favorites was "At the Cross" but one day when she chose it I informed her that my Mom didn't allow me to sing about worms. Remember the original version; "...for such a worm as I?" Now we sing "...for sinners such as I."
