They Called Him Laughter 歌詞

A barren land and a barren wife Made Abraham laugh at his wandering life A cruel joke it seemed then to call him the father of nations A heavenly prank, a celestial joke Cause grey hair and babies leave no room for hope But hoping is something this hopeless old man learned to do Chorus: They called him laughter For he came after The father had made an impossible promise come true The birth of a baby to a hopeless old lady So they called him laughter Cause no other name would do A cry in the darkness and laughter at night An elderly couple sat holding him tight An imporbable infant, a punchline, a promise come true They laughed til they wept then laughted at their tears This miracle baby they've wanted for years Would make a messiah who'd give us impossible joy Chorus(X2)
