The Lord Of The Dance

"I danced in the morning when the world was young

I danced on the moon, the stars and the sun

I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth

At Bethlehem I had my birth"

Chorus:

"Dance, dance, 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 lead you all in the dance" said he

"I danced for the scribes and the Pharisee

They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me

I danced for the fishermen James and John

They followed me and the dance went on"

Chorus

"I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame

The holy people said it was a shame

They whipped me, stripped me, hung me high

They left me there on the cross to die"

Chorus

"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 alive and the dance goes on"

Chorus

"They cut me down, but I lept up high

I am the light that will never never die

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

I am the lord of the dance" said he
