Lord of the Dance - Triple Tetrachtys



Dance!

Come dance!

Dance with joy!

And with passion!-

Dancing is saying twice “Yes”to Being.!

The Lord Himself is the Lord of the Dance!

Follow Him then!

In the dance

Come and

Dance!







Dance

With Fire!

And brio!

With abandon!

Whirl round and round as the dervishes do!

With the right palm up and the left palm down-

In ecstasy

Of Spirit

Whirl! whirl!

Dance!







Dance

He will

Forever

with great ardor!

He danced, danced since the beginning of time,

And while He danced things came into being,

Effusing love,

This great Lord

Of the

Dance

And the Lord of the Dance smiled because we had responded to the gift of our

bodies. Grace would come into the world through us.



And the Lord of the Dance wept because there was much less singing and dancing

Let us sing the praises of the Lord of the Dance as we partake of the Dance.







Song by Sidney Carter - The 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 fishermen,

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 on 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.
