The Voice of the Child

I am an little 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

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

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
