Lord of the Dance


Lord of the Dance is one of my favorite hymns. I have the song memorized, and I can often be heard singing it and loud as I can when I'm alone in the house.


Well, today I copied the lyrics and put them on a Pages document with a cool background and formatted it then saved the PDF. I am extremely happy with how it turned out and it's now my desktop :D


I thought I'd share it with y'all. (yes, the top is a little cut off, sorry)



For those of you who don't know, these are the lyrics :


I danced in the morning when the world was young,

And I danced for 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 scribes and the Pharisee,

But they would not dance and they would not follow me;

I danced for the fishermen, for James and John;

They came to me and the dance went on.


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 on the sabbath when 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.


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 on a Friday and the clouds 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 the dance goes on.


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.


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.


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.
