Lord of the Dance

[Verse 1]

I danced in the morning when the world was begun

I danced 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

[Chorus]

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

[Verse 3]

I danced on the sabbath, and I cured the lame

The holy people, they said it was a shame

They whipped, they stripped, then they hung me high

Left me there on a cross to die

[Chorus]

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

And I'll lead you all whatever you may be

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

[Verse 4]

I danced on the 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

[Chorus]

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

[Verse 5]

They cut me down but I leap up high

I am the Life that will never, never die

And I live in you if you live in Me

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

[Chorus]

Dance then, whatever you may be

For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He

Dance then, whatever you may be

I am the Lord of the Dance, said He

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

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He
