The Lord of the Dance

The Lord of the Dance
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
Author: Sydney Carter (1963)
Tune: SIMPLE GIFTS
1 I danced in the morning
When the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon
And the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven
And I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem
I had my birth.
Refrain
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.
2 I danced for the scribe
And the pharisee,
But they would not dance
And they wouldn't follow Me.
I danced for the fishermen,
For James and John
They came with Me
And the Dance went on. Refrain
3 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 on high,
And they left Me there
On a Cross to die. Refrain
4 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
And they thought I'd gone,
But I am the Dance,
And I still go on.
5 They cut Me down
And I leapt up high;
I am the Life
That'll never, never die;
I'll live in you
If you'll live in Me -
I am the Lord
Of the Dance, said He. Refrain
