I Danced in the Morning (Lord of the Dance)

Author: Sydney Carter Hymnal: The Worshipbook #426 (1972) First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 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. 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. 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. [Refrain] 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 high, And they left me there on a cross to die. [Refrain] 4 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] 5 They cut me down and I leap 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] Topics: Christian Year Advent; Christian Year Christmas; Christian Year Lent; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Easter Day Tune Title: [I danced in the morning when the world was begun]
