They Called Him Laughter

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 celestial 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.
