THE LORD OF THE DANCE
Author(s): Pethuel
Songbook: Unpubbed Other
KeyWords: Freedom From Fear,

I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
I danced on the moon and the stars and the sun,
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
In Bethlehem I had my birth

Chorus:
So 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,
Lead you all in the dance said He

I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame,
The holy people said it was a shame,
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high,
They left me there on the cross to die

I danced for the Scribes and the Pharisees,
They wouldn't dance and they wouldn't follow me,
I danced for the teens of the very end,
They danced with me and the dance went on

I danced on Thursday and the sky turned black,
It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back,
They buried my body and they thought I was gone,
But I am the dance and I still go on

They cut me down and I leapt on high,
I am the dance and I'll never, never die,
I'll live in you if you live in me,
"I am the Lord of the dance", said He

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
