Lord Of The Dance (Sydney Carter)
D Bm F#m Bm
I danced in the morning when the world was young
A G A
I danced in the moon, the stars and the sun
D Bm F#m Bm
I came down from heaven and I danced on earth
A D G D
At Bethlehem I had my birth
D Bm D
Dance, dance, whereever you may be
Bm A
I am the Lord of the dance said he
D Bm F#m
And I'll lead you all, whereever you may be
A G D
And I lead you all in the dance said he
I danced for the scribe and for the pharisee
They would not dance, they would not follow me
So I danced for the fishermen James and John
Came with me and the dance went on
Chorus:
I danced on the Sabbath an I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die
Chorus:
I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil in your back
They buried my body they thought I'd gone
But I am the dance and I still go on
Chorus:
They cut me down but I leapt up high
I am the life that will never never die
And I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance said he
