《They Called Him Laughter》歌词

[00:00:00] They Called Him Laughter - Michael Card

[00:00:15] A barren land and a barren wife

[00:00:18] Made Abraham laugh at his wandering life

[00:00:22] A cruel joke it seemed then

[00:00:24] To call him the father of nations

[00:00:30] A heavenly prank a celestial joke

[00:00:33] Cause gray hair

[00:00:34] And babies leave no room for hope

[00:00:37] But hoping was something

[00:00:39] This hopeless old man learned to do

[00:00:43] They called him laughter

[00:00:47] For he came after

[00:00:51] The father had

[00:00:52] Made an impossible promise come true

[00:00:58] The birth of a baby to

[00:01:02] A hopeless old lady

[00:01:05] So they called him laughter

[00:01:08] No other name would do

[00:01:21] A cry in the darkness and laughter at night

[00:01:25] An elderly couple sit holding him tight

[00:01:28] An improbable infant

[00:01:30] A punchline a promise come true

[00:01:36] They laughed 'til they wept

[00:01:38] Then they laughed at their tears

[00:01:40] This miracle baby they'd wanted for years

[00:01:43] Would make a Messiah

[00:01:45] Who'd give us impossible joy

[00:01:50] They called him laughter for he came after

[00:01:57] The Father had made

[00:01:59] An impossible promise come true

[00:02:05] The birth of a baby to

[00:02:08] A hopeless old lady

[00:02:12] So they called him laughter

[00:02:15] Cause no other name would do

[00:02:19] They called him laughter for he came after

[00:02:27] The father had made

[00:02:28] An impossible promise come true

[00:02:34] The birth of a baby to

[00:02:38] A hopeless old lady

[00:02:41] So they called him laughter

[00:02:45] Cause no other name would do
