Lord Of The Dance - Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics
On the bank of the Tennessee River
In a small Kentuky town
I drew my first breath one cold November morning
And before my feet even touched the ground
With the doctors and the nurses gathered 'round
I started to dance
I started to dance
A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
Footloose and fancy free
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
That I'd stumble on a truth I couldn't see
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said..
Chorus
I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
I am the eyes, I need the sight
I realize that I am just a body
I need the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But who'll give purpose to chance
I am the dancer
I need the Lord of the dance
The world beneath us spins in circles
And this life makes us twist and turn and away
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As He dances over all that He has made
Chorus
Lord of the dance
Lord of the dance
And while the music of His love and mercy plays
I will fall down on my knees and I will pray
Chorus
I am the dancer
You are the Lord of the dance
