Lord of the Dance / Simple Gifts |
| I danced in the morning when the world was begun |
| I danced in the Moon, and the stars, and the Sun |
| I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth |
| At 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 in the Dance, said He! |
| I danced for the scribe and the pharisee |
| They would not dance, they wouldn’t follow me So I danced for the fishermen James and John |
| They come with me and the Dance went on: |
| 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! |
| I danced on the Sabbath and cured the lame |
| The holy people, they said it was a shame! |
| They whipped and stripped and then hung me high |
| Left me there on a cross to die! |
| 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! |
| 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! |
| 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! |
| They cut me down but I leap up high |
| I am the Life that will never never 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 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! |
| 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! |
| 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! |
