I danced in the morning when the worldnwas begun, and I danced in the moonnand the stars and the sun, and I camendown from heaven and I danced on thenearth; at Bethlehem I had My birth.
Dance, then, wherever you may be; I amnthe Lord of the Dance, said He, and I’llnlead you all, wherever you may be, and I’llnlead you all in the dance, said He.
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
But they would not dance and theynwould not follow Me; I danced for thenfishermen, for James and John; theyncame with Me and the dance went on.nn
I danced on the Sabbath and I curednthe lame; the holy people said it was anshame. They whipped and they strippednand they hung Me high, and left Menthere on a cross to die.
I danced on a Friday when the skynturned black; it’s hard to dance withnthe devil on your back. They buried Mynbody and they thought I’d gone: but I amnthe dance and I still go on.
They cut Me down and I leapt up high; Inam the life that will never, never die; I’llnlive in you if you’ll live in Me: I am the
Lord of the Dance, said He.
