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
