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. 2 I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee, but they would not dance and they would not follow me. I danced for the fishermen, for James and John -- they came with me and the Dance went on. [Refrain] 3 I danced on the Sabbath when I cured the lame, the holy people said it was a shame. They whipped and they stripped and they hung me high, and they left me there on a Cross to die. [Refrain] 4 I danced on a Friday and 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. [Refrain] 5 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.

Make me a captive, Lord

Author: George Matheson (1842-1906) Appears in 120 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 23:11 Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free; force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life's alarms when by myself I stand; imprison me within thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. 2 My heart is weak and poor until it master find; it has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till thou hast wrought its chain; enslave it with thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. 3 My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; it lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve; it cannot drive the world, until itself be driven; its flag can only be unfurled when thou shalt breathe from heaven. 4 My will is not my own till thou hast made it thine; if it would reach a monarch's throne it must its crown resign; it only stands unbent, amid the clashing strife, when on thy bosom it has leant and found in thee its life.
