My husband met him in an airport. Most genuine person ever. Forever fans since we were teens! He even sat and ate dinner with our friends after heaven in the real World concert in Pgh, PA back in the day. We had gone home but our friends sure got a shock when Steven and his band walked in told them nice shirts and ate dinner with them!!!!
SCC is hands down the best thing contemporary Christian music has produced. He's the perfect blend of technical prowess on the guitar, having a phenomenal singing voice, being able to write the catchiest melodies, and the most thoughtful and profound lyrics. No one has all of those categories mastered, but he's by far the closest. Today's music scene has no one comparable.
It.... kind of depends on genre and preference; I'm into everything from Casting Crowns to Carman to Skillet, so I love a _lot_ of stuff, but I will certainly agree that he's one of the best.
@@carlmclemore6104 Interesting. I had no idea--not that I follow the nuances of artist's personal lives that much. And since I've never heard of Branham, it makes sense that I would miss that as well. Learn something new every day, huh.
Life is a dance. I am the dancer. I need the Lord of the dance. I need His grace and mercy. I need His Love that brought me forgiveness of sins. I need His salvation that came through His shed blood; His great sacrifice. I need Him to give me strength through each day.
The world beneath us spins in circles And this life makes us twist and turn and sway But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason By the one who moves with passion and with grace As He dances over all that He has made I am the heart, He is the heartbeat I am the eyes, He is the sight And I see clearly, I am just a body He is the life I move my feet, I go through the motions But He gives purpose to chance I am the dancer He is the Lord of the dance
I'm an atheist, but always thought this song was damn catchy when I saw it on TV once in the 90's. Never knew who sung it, but the lyrics been stuck in my mind ever since. Googling some fragments of them brought me here.
I would encourage you to pray. Maybe you don't believe in Jesus or that he could be "the one" but what does it hurt to pray "God, if you are actually real, please reveal yourself to me". Either way, bless you :)
I loved this song when I was 12 years old, way back 1998...I love dancing back then while scrubbing the floor and fast forward, it's 2021. The Lord Just reminded me today. He remains the Lord of everything in me even if the dancing got slower. God is faithful.
Chapman's pre 2000's music is an example of how Christian music could be authentic. How to make a contemporary Christian song in the 2000's: 1: give every instrument an extreme echo, giving the song the effect of being played in a mega church. 2: use one drumming pattern; beat that bass drum at 2 beats per second and neglect every other drum and symbol in your kit. This will make all the kids think they are clubbing. 3: in every verse, at the end of every sentence, stretch that last word out for about 5 seconds. "God is greeeeaaaaaaat. God is gooooooooooood. He is poooooooweeeeeeerfuuuuuul." 4: don't be scared of that Yamaha synth track. lay that baby overtop of EVERY song, drowning out every other instrument. 5: don't write about life struggles or life issues or philosophy or doctrine; write every song as a worship song. 6: and lastly. If you ever sing the word "you", which will most likely be in every other verse, makes sure it sounds like "yaeeeeuuuu". 7: if you are above 50 years old, make sure to rock them skinny jeans and spiked hair, because that totally makes you look like a kid. We call this the "McCartney Relevance Syndrome".
Funny story about this track in my life. Back when I was in 5th Grade back in Australia, my RE Teacher gave me a cd for getting all the questions she asked right this track was on it. We had a carnival of sorts set up and her Church had a tent set up there. I was wandering around and saw my mother and said "Hey you should come meet my RE Teacher" , they got to talking and after not too long they realized they were related. She's actually my 2nd cousin. Amazing.
1996 Creation Festivals Northeast, my first Creation Festival, and the only year that Creation took over Hershey Park due to flooding at the Agape Farm Campground. I wasn't able to attend to whole festival, but did see the Wednesday night concerts and stayed Friday night into Saturday. The artist I most wanted to see that year was Steven Curtis Chapman who was the closing act on Saturday night. dcTalk was on right before him, and it started drizzling during their set. Steven came on and did his first song and it began to pour! Lots of people ran for their cars or tents, including Wayne and Sara, but not me! No, I came to see SCC and as long as he was willing to play, I would stand there and watch. Carrie stayed with me. After the first song, he asked the dwindling crowd if they wanted to leave or listen to another song, and of course those of us left screamed for more. He introduced this song that night, and I danced with the Lord of the Dance! I will always think of that night when I hear this song!!
First time I heard this song, & I played it over & over! It's now my favorite SCS song! BRILLIANT LYRICS! What a blessing Steven Curtis Chapman is & how he uses the incredible talents The Lord gave him!!
+Ladywillo Ive only just recently heard this song also and instantly loved it, just watched the video for the first (and 2nd, and 3rd time lol ) and just love it! What a gorgeous voice! The lyrics and music just touch me in an awesome way
i love rock and roll, but sometimes i just like to listen to people like steven curtis chapman, mercyme and michael w smith, people who are truly annointed by the spirit of God and are blessed with the gift of delivering a message of hope, peace and God's love, right now i need all that stuff.
Steven Curtis Chapman and Mac Powell with Third Day are some of the best progressive rock out and could play and sing the Beatles or Led Zeppelin or any group under because of how talented they are! I want to sing with them! I saw them in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Steven Curtis Chapman, this song says so much and is in great harmony (no pun intended) with what my pastor was teaching us. We as a body of believers are JUSTIFIED by the blood of Jesus and take that charge to live out His will. As we live on, we are made more whole, yearn to become more like God after His perfect character, learn how to love more and more becoming holy and separated from the world. That is SANCTIFICATION. And finally, as the Lord Jesus transforms us our lives become clear. We glorify God in what we do now and as He returns. That is GLORIFICATION. This song embodies those those 3 precious happenings. I am grateful. Thank you, sir.
This song meant we are a body of CHRIST! GOD fill us with the HOLY SPIRIT who is at work in our life. without HIM, we are a heart without any heartbeat. is not by chance we are here today; it is HIS will that we are placed in different offices to live/glorify HIM and to give our best in everything we do.
man this brings me back to when i was first brought to God. awesome lets not ever forget Gods love for us He is always there even though when it doesnt feel like it. He is Patient and forebear-ant. all that Jesus gave the Father none will be lost!!!!!
Since May of 2008, everything you do now and have done has taken on a brand new meaning. May God use you to the fullest. Young and OLD listen up! Steven Curtis Chapman is B..A..C..K..!!!
Almost exactly one yr ago, back at this video and can see even more in this song than I did then! In lite of media inspired racism, this song is prophetic in that it reaches across racial barriers from when the song was released, through 2day! Even the globe being held at the end of the song(John 3:16)! This kid is "livin out loud"!
I am a fairly new Christian and someone gave me a CD with this song on it....I loved it and played it over and over...decided to come on line to see if there was a video for it....what a great video to go along with an incredible song....it just touches my soul!!!! I love the music, the lyrics, and he has an awesome voice! Now Ive got to find some of his other songs to see if they touch me the same way : )
“We were made for more than rhythm with no reason, by the One who moves with passion and with grace, as He dances over all that He has made...” What a line! Our Lord dances over us, His creation. Simply amazing to think about that.
Just went on like a 30 minute search for this lmao, haven't heard it in years. I just could hear the intro guitar and had to hear it but couldn't place the name.
@scchapmanfan I agree with kingcrimson more. Lord of the Dance is a perfectly written song both lyrically and musically. It's a very catchy tune and would even wager it could have topped the charts in secular music industry, if it weren't a Christian track.
This is an excellent video-why make a new one. It show the juxtaposition of pain in not dancing (people covering their eyes in pain) and then it brings in the joy of the dancing from infant hood to elderly years. I love it!
This guy, Rich Mullins, and Michael W. Smith were my age 5-9 youth as far as music, :Edit: I was probably older than that, since this song is 20 and I'm in my 30's
+Scienceitworks I had no idea this song was that old lol I just recently got back into my faith and had never ever listened to Christian music before. Someone gave me a mixed CD and this song was on it, I instantly fell in love with it, didnt realize it was a classic : ) guess im behind the times a bit huh? ha ha Its awesome that people still love this song after all of these years, otherwise Id probably never got the chance to hear it.
Wow! Reading some of the awesome comments of true believers, still amazing how we like to criticize each others gifts and talents! Guess its jus human nature. Steven Curtis Chapman, as Well as Chris Rice are unique in their delivery of their individual delivery of gifts. Jesus, the Lord of the Dance, that's not hard to figure out that,thats who Steven is praizin!
eric sands Question: Where in The Holy Bible ( The Word of God) does it say " Jesus, The Lord of the dance? Please tell me, because I never heard of Him being The Lord of the Dance.
@@alyas8357 It doesn't. It's a metaphor. If Steven had claimed that this was an official name of Jesus, that would be different. He didn't. This song is referring to life as a dance. Without Jesus, there is no life. If Jesus is not the Lord of your life, you are dead. That's the beautiful message of this song. Don't be a pharisee.
@StevenCurtisChapmanOfficial001 I am texting from Allentown, Pennsylvania. This album, Signs of Life, has always been a favorite of mine. "Let Us Pray", "The Walk" "Children Of A Burning Heart" always completely move my spirit in praise. ❤️
The image of a new born Chapmsn dancing before he even reaches the ground is hilarious to me. I know he probably means he was dancing before he learned to walk, but the image of the new born Chapman dancing an Irish jig to this music is just hilarious to me. 🤣
this song is worth our time... not this Justin Bieber junk... Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W Smith are the ideal sources for uplifting music!!! Good beat to keep you from falling asleep and great message to keepp you from falling away. Thank you!

@@adain9002 well, at least two of those don't have terrible theology.
@@carlmclemore6104 I don't know which two you mean and I'm kind of afraid to ask.
@@adain9002 Carman, in addition to terrible theology, lauded an actual heretic William Branham in his lyrics.

Learn something new every day, huh.
I'm an Atheist and I really like the music for this song. (=
Because it was inspired by GOD
One of the Best commercial Modern Day Christian Songs ever made!
I just discovered Steven Curtis Chapman. I like this guy. The Holy Spirit is in his music.
Man isn't that true. You can just feel God Speaking through his music!!!
I'm Catholic and I love this guy. What an awesome musician for your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Play it brother.
This is his best. nothing tops this song in his catalog.
I totally forgot about this song and I am so glad I rediscovered it.
"I am just a body. He is the life." Chills.
Keep it up brother Steven!
hands up, who remembers this guy with a mullet?... !!! :D :D
Life is a dance. I am the dancer.
I need the Lord of the dance.
I need His grace and mercy.
I need His Love
that brought me forgiveness of sins.
I need His salvation
that came through
His shed blood;
His great sacrifice.
I need Him to give me strength
through each day.
The world beneath us spins in circles
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As He dances over all that He has made
I am the heart, He is the heartbeat
I am the eyes, He is the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body
He is the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But He gives purpose to chance
I am the dancer
He is the Lord of the dance
fond memories of SCC back in the day so glad to see he's going strong still
I'm an atheist, but always thought this song was damn catchy when I saw it on TV once in the 90's. Never knew who sung it, but the lyrics been stuck in my mind ever since. Googling some fragments of them brought me here.
snozzlehead92 same boat
Welcome snozzlehead. Glad you are enjoying this song.
I would encourage you to pray. Maybe you don't believe in Jesus or that he could be "the one" but what does it hurt to pray "God, if you are actually real, please reveal yourself to me". Either way, bless you :)
Same here. I jammed to this when it came out. The chorus is very catchy and good.
Dane Watson because he doesn’t believe? Just let people be different from you without trying to push your beliefs
What a song. What a man . God has given us a talented singer here.x
I loved this song when I was 12 years old, way back 1998...I love dancing back then while scrubbing the floor and fast forward, it's 2021. The Lord Just reminded me today. He remains the Lord of everything in me even if the dancing got slower. God is faithful.
Lord of dance: Sounds fresh even in 2020. Which shows how high quality this song is!!😇😎
Still one of the best voices in all of Christian music.
+David Scarrow I think THE best!!! :-)
IMO, he is the greatest Christian Artist.
My dad listened to this a lot when I was younger. Brings back memories.
This song 🎶 has a multitude of meanings….now that our Lord is Dancing 🕺 Again Jan/24

First time I heard this was when i was at a church camp in 1997 and we did a dance to it. After that I went and bought the cd.
It's a great song. And I'm not even a Christian anymore. It's a song about living and enjoying life!
Oh how I love this song. So powerful. What a talent.
I've loved & followed the music ministry of Steven Curtis for years! Absolutely love this song!!!

Indeed, I am JUST THE BODY---I need the light!!!!
He is good with the strings...

He is still making music today. There's over 20 years of great song to choose from. He's an amazingly gifted artist.
Wow ❤❤❤ still love this song. Beautiful!!!
“We were made for more than rhythm with no reason, by the One who moves with passion and with grace, as He dances over all that He has made...” What a line! Our Lord dances over us, His creation. Simply amazing to think about that.
William Fries Question: Can you please tell me where in The Holy Bible ( The Word of God), does it say that he dances over his creation?
Love this...brought me to my feet...and to worship
He dances over us...I give back the best that I have to give, the gift of dance, that He put in me.
Lilian---the bible scriptures say HE 'sings over us' as we sleep.....what a picture.
if we receive His agape Love we can give it to others
I know that is true true true...
STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN IS AWESOME.
Just went on like a 30 minute search for this lmao, haven't heard it in years. I just could hear the intro guitar and had to hear it but couldn't place the name.
I recorded this song from the radio to a cassette back in the 00s and i listened it all day
Definitely his best song, IMO. I hadn't heard it for a few years, I forgot how awesome it is!
Maybe you should listen to The Great Adventure. Not only his best song but maybe the best song ever..
@scchapmanfan I agree with kingcrimson more. Lord of the Dance is a perfectly written song both lyrically and musically. It's a very catchy tune and would even wager it could have topped the charts in secular music industry, if it weren't a Christian track.

always liked this tune when I first heard it I was hooked on the bluesy bluegrass edge of this song and scc is an incredible guitar player
@NXLproductions How could you put more feeling into such a passionate song?? I can't imagine anyone doing it better than Steve!! hehe
Love this song!!!! Still one of my favorites :D

May the Lord continue to use SCC
👍🏻 thank you for making good praise songs!
