The Lord Of The Dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on earth
In Bethlehem, I had my birth
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 at the dance said he
I danced for the scribe 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
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 high
They left me there on a cross to die
I danced on the Friday when the skies turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body and thought I'd gone
I am alive and the dance goes on
They cut me down but I leapt up high
I am the life that will never never die
I live in you, you live in me
I am the lord of the dance said he
