[Opening Hook] Laughter in the tent, Laughter in the air, A promise once impossible Was breathing over there. [Verse 1] Three men stood near in the heat of the day, Abraham hurried and begged them to stay. Bread from the measure, a calf from the herd, Shade for the travelers, then came the word: "At the time appointed a son shall appear." Sarah behind them was listening near. [Pre-Refrain] She laughed in the silence, too old for the spring, But nothing is hard for the Lord of all things. [Refrain] Who could have told Abraham, Who could have told his wife, That age would cradle covenant, That barrenness would carry life? The child was named for laughter, The promise wore a face; Isaac cried beneath the stars, A son of patient grace. [Verse 2] The Lord visited as the Lord had said, Joy entered where every hope had seemed dead. Sarah gave suck in the shade of the tent; Neighbors heard wonder and laughter was sent. Eight days later the covenant sign, A child in their arms at the appointed time. [Final Hook] Laughter in the tent, Laughter in the air, The promise once impossible Was sleeping safely there.
