Lyrics The Lord of the Dance (Arr. N. McLoughlin) - Noel Mcloughlin

I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced in the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced for the scribes and Pharisees
They would not dance and they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They followed me and the dance went on

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And II lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped, they stripped and they hung me high
And left me there in the cross to die

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And II lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried me deep and they thought I'd gone
But I am the dance and I still go on

Oh dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

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

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all, in the dance said he
