The Voice Of The Child Lyrics - Card Michael

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
