The Voice of the Child

Michael Card
 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
