Lord Of The Dance Lyrics

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 

 At then Bethlehem I had my birth 

  

 Chorus: 

 Dance, then, wherever you may be 

 For 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. 

  

 I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee, 

 But they would not dance and they would not follow me; 

 I danced for the fishermen, for James and John 

 They came with 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 on high 

 And left me there on the cross to die 

  

 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. 

  

 They cut me down and I leapt up high: 

 I am the life that will never, never die. 

 I'll live in you if you live in me 

 I am the Lord of the Dance said he
