The Lord Of The Dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun,

I dance in the moon and the stars and the sun,

I came down from Heaven and I danced on earth,

At Bethlehem I had my birth.


Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he,

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.


I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,

They would not dance, they wouldn't follow me.

So I danced for the fishermen,

James and John came with me and the dance went on.


Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he,

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.


I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame,

The Holy people said it was a shame.

They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,

Left me there on a cross to die.



Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he,

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.


I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black,

It's hard to dance with the devil on your back.

They buried my body, they thought I'd gone,

But I am the dance, and I still go on.


Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he,

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.


They cut me down, but I lept up high.

I am the light that will never ever die

And I'll live in you if you'll live in me.

I am the Lord of the dance, said he.


Dance then, wherever you may be,

I am the Lord of the dance, said he,

And I'll lead you all wherever you may be,

And I'll lead you all in the dance, said he.
