The Voice of the Child

[00:00.41]The Voice of the Child - Michael Card
[00:05.55]I am an little rabbi
[00:07.67]Where's the Child
[00:08.42]who was here only yesterday

[00:13.36]How my heart start to beat
[00:15.23]as I sat at His feet
[00:17.30]For the things He'd say

[00:21.73]The questions I asked Him
[00:23.86]Had weighed on my mind an eternity
[00:29.86]But the self-righteous show
[00:31.59]I had made my disguise
[00:34.02]It started to slip
[00:35.59]as I looked in His eyes
[00:38.15]So rather than stay,
[00:39.59]for my pride sake
[00:41.34]I walked away
[00:45.96]Come listen awhile to the voice of a Child
[00:49.81]Stand in awe of the wisdom of God
[00:53.37]Hear what He has to say
[00:55.94]For the time is today
[00:57.81]You can come or just walk away

[01:07.76]Then late in the night
[01:09.45]I awoke to a voice
[01:11.45]Deep inside of me
[01:15.39]It was gentle and mild like
[01:17.76]the voice of a child
[01:19.39]My mind's eye could see

[01:23.70]It spoke of the promises
[01:25.70]Made to my people through Abraham

[01:31.70]And at once all the prophesy made sense to me
[01:35.70]I'd studied them so long
[01:37.52]Why couldn't I see

[01:39.98]In one holy moment I knew
[01:42.67]the Messiah was He

[02:03.37]Come listen awhile to the voice of a Child
[02:07.50]Stand in awe of the wisdom of God
[02:10.50]Hear what He has to say
[02:13.31]For the time is today
[02:15.13]You can come or just walk away

[02:27.22]I am an old rabbi
[02:29.10]Where's the Child
[02:29.85]who was here only yesterday

[02:34.72]How my heart start to beat
[02:36.53]as I sat at His feet
[02:38.66]For the things He'd say
[02:43.04]I just got to find him
[02:45.48]and tell him I'm sorry I walked away
[02:51.72]
