Michael Card 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 to stay, for my pride sake, I walked away

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 minds 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

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

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
