Big Top by Rob Harrell for March 27, 2025

… I danced in the morningWhen the world was begun,And I danced in the moonAnd the stars and the sun,And I came down from heavenAnd I danced on the earth,At BethlehemI 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 scribeAnd the pharisee,But they would not danceAnd they wouldn’t follow me.I danced for the fishermen,For James and JohnThey came with meAnd 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 SabbathAnd I cured the lame;The holy peopleSaid it was a shame.They whipped and they strippedAnd they hung me on high,And they left me thereOn 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 FridayWhen the sky turned blackIt’s hard to danceWith the devil on your back.They buried my bodyAnd they thought I’d gone,But I am the Dance,And I still go 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 downAnd I leapt up high;I am the lifeThat’ll never, never die;I’ll live in youIf you’ll live in me -I am the LordOf the Dance, said he.
