Haven't heard this one in awhile..........Dorothy Gifford

1. 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.
   
   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
   
   
2. I danced for the scribe
   And the pharisee,
   But they would not dance
   And they wouldn't follow me.
   I danced for the fishermen,
   For James and John -
   They came with me
   And the dance went on.
   
   Chorus
3. I danced on the Sabbath
   And I cured the lame;
   The holy people
   Said it was a shame.
   They whipped and they stripped
   And they hung me on high,
   And they left me there
   On a Cross to die.
   
   Chorus
4. 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.
   
   Chorus
5. 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.
   
   Chorus
