[Verse 1] 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 on earth At Bethlehem I had my birth [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Verse 2] I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee They would not dance, they wouldn't follow Me So I danced for the fishermen, James and John Came with me, and the Dance went on [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Verse 3] I danced on the sabbath, and I cured the lame The holy people, they said it was a shame They whipped, they stripped, then they hung me high Left me there on a cross to die [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Verse 4] I danced on the Friday when the sky turned black It's hard to dance with the Devil on your back They buried my body, they thought I'd gone But I am the Dance, and I still go on [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Verse 5] They cut me down but I leap up high I am the Life that will never, never die I live in you if you live in Me I am the Lord of the Dance, said He [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be For I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He [Chorus] Dance then, whatever you may be I am the Lord of the Dance, said He And I'll lead you all, whatever you may be And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said He
