Louis Brittz - Lord of the Dance

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had My birth

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He

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

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He

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

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He

I danced on the Friday, and 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 Lord and I still go on

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He

They cut Me down and I leapt up high
I am a life that will never ever die
I live in You if you live in Me
I am the Lord of the dance, said He

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He

Dance then wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said He
I lead you all wherever you may be
I lead you all in the dance, said He
