The Danse

All creation moves in a cosmic danse
Before the Lord her King;
And the rythms, the reason, the rhyme
Of the danse pulses within everything
And the universe wheels and whirls like
A dervish in perfect seven-step time
The Lord made the Danse
He taught her the steps, and He causes the songs to shine

We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
We must yield all our steps unto the King
We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
Let His praises ring throughout the earth

Adam and Eve dansed in Eden's environs
Early in earth's morning air
They named all the animals musical names
Glorious potentiality shared
But Lucifer sang out a serpentine song
And offered death's danse as a token
And pausing to listen Adam missed his step;
Earth's harmony in the danse broken

We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
We must yield all our steps unto the King
We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
Let his praises ring throughout the earth

Jesus dansed into the world
Singing His heavenly song
He taught the Danse to those who would
Listen and learn as He moved along
But the steps of His Danse led to a cross
Where He died while the haters mocked on
But He Dansed through death's arms
And over Hell's gate and in three days
Dansed forth from His tomb

We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
We must yield all our steps unto the King
We must danse, danse, danse
Danse in God's honor
Let His praises ring throughout the earth (x2)
