Michael Card Album: Legacy Track: The Voice of the Child
The Voice of the Child Lyrics
I am an old rabbi Where's the Child who was here only yesterday How my heart start to beat as I sat at His feet For the things He'd say The questions I asked Him Had weighed on my mind an eternity
But the self-righteous show I had made my disguise It started to slip as I looked in His eyes So rather than stay, for my pride sake I walked away
Chorus Come listen awhile to the voice of a Child Stand in awe of the wisdom of God Hear what He has to say For the time is today You can come or just walk away
Then late in the night I awoke to a voice Deep inside of me It was gentle and mild like the voice of a child My mind's eye could see It spoke of the promises Made to my people through Abraham And at once all the prophesy made sense to me I'd studied them so long Why couldn't I see In one holy moment I knew the Messiah was He
Repeat Chorus I am an old rabbi Where's the Child who was here only yesterday How my heart start to beat as I sat at His feet For the things He'd say I just got to find him And tell him I'm sorry I walked away
