michael card - the rabbi's heartbeat lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
isn’t it dark for this time of evening?
does it seem cold for this time of year?
you will forgive me, now, for asking
but it seems strange to find you here
here in this empty upstairs chamber
just a few hours before the dawn
in a few moments, he’ll be coming;
in a few moments, he’ll be gone

[verse 2]
as they recline around the table
as each of his followers finds a place
as each of them gaze upon the mystery
of the dark riddle of his face
could they be wondering in the shadows
“is this end or just the start?”?
if they had only learned to listen
to the beat of the rabbi’s heart

[chorus]
the rabbi’s heart, it will be broken
to finally break the fallen curse
and the stillness of that heart was felt
throughout the universe
and then they’ll find the faith to listen
and new hope to make a start
and they’ll hear the sacred silence of
the beat of the rabbi’s heart
[verse 3]
what could he mean “this is my body”?
how could he say, “this is my blood”?
how will he let himself be broken?
will he be poured out like a flood?
in the confusion and the sorrow
all of their hopes are torn apart
but then the youngest leans and listens
to the beat of the rabbi’s heart

[chorus]
the rabbi’s heart, it will be broken
to finally break the fallen curse
and the stillness of that heart was felt
throughout the universe
and then they’ll find the faith to listen
and new hope to make a start
and they’ll hear the sacred silence of
the beat of the rabbi’s heart

[verse 4]
is that the morning that’s breaking?
is that dawning of the sun?
now that the final meal is over
now will you simply go back home?
or will you linger just to listen
for only an echo in the dark?
or hear the holy, hidden power
of the beat of a broken heart?
