The Dubliners - Lord Of The Dance (Christian Version)

Lord Of The Dance

She danced on the water,
And the wind was her horn
The Lady laughed,
And everything was born
And when She lit the sun
And its' light gave Him birth
The Lord of the Dance
First appeared on the Earth

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, you see!
I live in you, and you live in Me
And I lead you all in the Dance, said He!

I danced in the morning
When the world begun
I danced in the Moon
And the Stars and the Sun
I was called from the darkness
By the Song of Earth
I joined in the Song,
And She gave Me Birth!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I Dance in the Circle
When the Flames leap high
I Dance in the Fire
And I never, never die
I Dance in the waves
Of the bright summer sea
For I am the Lord
Of the wave's mystery

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I sleep in the kernel
And I Dance in the rain
I Dance in the wind,
And through the waving grain
When they cut me down
I care nothing for the pain
In the spring
I'm the Lord of the Dance once again!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I Dance at the Sabbath
When you Dance out the spell
I Dance and sing
That everyone be well
And when the dancing's over
Do not think that I am gone
To live is to Dance!
So I still Dance on.

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I see the Maidens
Laughing as they Dance in the Sun
And I count the fruits
Of the Harvest one by one
I know the Storm is coming,
But the Grain is all stored
So I sing of the Dance;
Of the Lady, and Her Lord:

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

The Horn of the Lady
Cast its sound cross the plain
The birds took the notes,
And gave them back again
Till the sound of Her Music
Was a Song in the sky
And to that Song
There is only one reply:

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

The moon in her phases,
And the tides of the sea
The movement of the Earth,
And the Seasons that will be
Are the rhythm for the dancing,
And a promise through the years
That the Dance goes on
Through our joys and tears

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

We Dance ever slower
As the leaves fall and spin
And the sound of the Horn
Is the wailing of the wind
The Earth is wrapped in Stillness,
And we move in a trance,
But we hold on fast
To our faith in the Dance!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

The sun is in the Southland
And the days grow chill
And the sound of the horn
Is fading on the hill
Tis the horn of the Hunter,
As he rides across the plain
And the Lady sleeps
Till the Spring comes again

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

The Sun is in the Southland
And the days lengthen fast
And soon we will sing
For the Winter that is past
Now we light the candles
And rejoice as they burn
And we Dance the Dance
Of the Sun's return!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

They danced in the darkness
And they danced in the night
They danced on the Earth,
And everything was light
They danced out the Darkness
And they danced in the Dawn
And the Day of that Dancing
Is still going on!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I gaze on the Heavens
And I gaze on the Earth
And I feel the pain
Of dying and rebirth
And I lift my head
In gladness and in praise
For the Dance of the Lord
And His Lady gay

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...

I Dance in the stars
As they whirl throughout space
And I Dance in the pulse
Of the veins in your face
No Dance is too great,
No Dance is too small,
You can look anywhere,
For I Dance in them all!

Dance, Dance, wherever you may be...
