Lord Of The Dance

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.

I danced for the scribe and the pharisee,
But they would not dance and they wouldn’t follow me.
I danced for the fisherman for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on.

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.

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.

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.

Family Prayer & Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory,
Forever and ever.
Amen.
