Lord Of The Dance Lyrics - Donovan Leitch

I danced in the morning when the world was begun 

I danced in the stars and the Moon and the Sun 

I came down from Heaven and I danced on Earth 

At Bethelehem 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! 

(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) 

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee 

They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me 

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John 

They followed 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! 

(...lead you all in the Dance, said He!) 

I danced on the Sabbath and I healed the lame 

The holy people said it was a shame! 

They whipped me and stripped me and hung me high 

And 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! 

(...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! 

(...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'll live in you if you'll 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! 

And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be 

And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He!
