I Danced in the Morning

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.

[FONT=&quot]Refrain:
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.
[/FONT] [FONT=&quot](Refrain)

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.
[/FONT] [FONT=&quot](Refrain)

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.
[/FONT] [FONT=&quot](Refrain)

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.
[/FONT] [FONT=&quot](Refrain)

This was the first hymn I learned as a Christian. It really speaks to me – Jesus is Lord; He always has been, and He always will be! Follow Him and you will have eternal life. And it has a catchy tune. When people talk about Michael Flatley in conjunction with the Lord of the Dance, I laugh – if they only knew who the real Lord of the Dance is!

BTW, I changed my screen name from CWsDoll to CWsAlterEgo - it seemed more appropriate.

Can I still join? See post #25 for my favorite hymn, Amazing Grace. I chose that hymn because I know that I'm saved by God's grace by believing in Him.

My favorite hymn is Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace Song

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me -
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
​

T'was Grace that taught -
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear -
the hour I first believed.
​

Through many dangers, toils and snares -
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far -
and Grace will lead us home.
​

The Lord has promised good to me -
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be -
as long as life endures.
​

When we've been here ten thousand years -
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise -
then when we've first begun.
​

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me -
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.​

Morning Has Broken
By Eleanor Farjeon



Morning has broken like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing!Praise for the morning!
Praise for the springing fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain's new fall sunlit from heaven,
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, Praise every morning,
God's recreation of the new day!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

This song is refreshing
It is a song of praise, earth's creations and beauty, and its Creator.
I like Morning Has Broken because its a cheerful song! It makes me think of a morning praise and devotion setting in nature, which is how I have portrayed it in my character.
