card michael - they called him laughter lyrics

they called him laughter (by michael card)
————————
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 celesti
al joke,
cause gray hair and babies leave no room for hope.
but hoping was 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 sit holding him tight.
an improbable infant, a punchline, a promise come true.
they laughed ’til they wept
, then they laughed at their tears.
this miracle baby they’d wanted for years,
would make a messiah who’d give us impossible joy.
