Barley Bree - The Lord of the Dance Hymn

Lyrics:
I danced in the morning when the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem I had my birth.

Refrain

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,
But they would not dance and they would not follow me;
I danced for the fishermen, for James and John;
They came to me and the dance went on.

Refrain

I danced on the sabbath when I cured the lame,
The holy people said it was a shame;
They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high;
And they left me there on a cross to die.

Refrain

I danced on a Friday and 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.

Refrain

They cut me down and I leapt up high,
I am the life that'll never, never die;
I'll live in you if you'll live in me;
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he.

Refrain

Beautiful song. I love this, it's so upbeat but praises our Lord at the same time. It's one of my very favourite songs.

im Greek orthodox Christian and our churches hyms are really sad and annoying

i like these Irish, catholic hymns because they are all cheer me up

[EarthaKit2]

I'm out of the church,and this makes me happy, makes me want to dance.

I think He really loved to dance, and loved his red wine, and the women, loved him madly. How could they not, He treated them decently.

Happy High Holidays to you All!

May the Christ in Mass come to bring us
