Lord Of The Dance Lyrics - Singles - Stephen Curtis Chapman

On the bank of the Tennessee River 

In a small Kentucky town 

I drew my first breath one cold November morning 

And before my feet even touched the ground 

With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round 

I started to dance 

I started to dance 

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder 

Footloose and fancy free 

But it would happen, as it does for every dancer 

That I'd stumble on the a truth I couldn't see 

And find a longing deep inside of me, it said... 

I am the heart, I need the heartbeat 

I am the eyes, I need the sight 

I realize that I am just a body 

I need the life 

I move my feet, I move through the motions 

But who'll give purpose to chance 

I am the dancer 

I need the Lord of the dance 

The world beneath us spins in circles 

And this life makes us twist and turn and sway 

But we were made for more than 

rhythm with no reason 

By the one who moves with passion and with grace 

As He dances over all that He has made 

I am the heart, He is the heartbeat 

I am the eyes, He is the sight 

And I see clearly, I am just a body 

He is the life 

I move my feet, I move through the motions 

But He gives purpose to chance 

I am the dancer 

He is the Lord of the dance 

And while the music of His love and mercy plays 

I will fall down on my knees and I will pray 

I am the heart, You are the heartbeat 

I am the eyes, You are the sight 

And I see clearly I am just a body 

You are the life 

I move my feet, I move through the motions, 

But You give purpose to chance 

I am the dancer, 

You are the Lord of the dance
