Lord Of The Dance

LORD OF THE DANCE

On the bank of the Tennessee River

In a small Kentucky 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


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 bodyI 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 sway

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
I am the heart, He is the heartbeat

I am the eyes, He is the sight

And I see clearly, I am just a body

He is the lifeI move my feet, I go through the motions


But He gives purpose to chance

I am the dancer

He is the Lord of the dance

Lord of the dance


And while the music of His love and mercy play

I will fall down on my knees and I will pray


Chorus

I am the heart, You are the heartbeat

I am the eyes, You are the sight

And I see clearly, I am just a body

You are the life


I move my feet, I go through the motions

But You give purpose to chance

I am the dancer

You are the Lord of the dance

I am the dancer

You are the Lord of the dance

Remembering You

Remembering You
Written by Steven Curtis Chapman
and Caleb Chapman©2005 Sparrow Song

I found You in the most unlikely way
But really it was You who found me
And I found myself in the gifts that You gave
You gave me so much and I
I wish You could staybut I'll,
I'll wait for the day

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers
and hear the birds sing and
I'll be remembering You,
I'll be remembering You

From the first moment when I heard Your name
Something in my heart came alive
You showed me love and no words could explain
A love with the power to
Open the door
To a world I was made for

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers
and hear the birds sing and
I'll be remembering You,
I'll be remembering You

The dark night, the hard fight
The long climb up the hill knowing the cost
The brave death, the last breathe
The silence whispering all hope was lost
The thunder, the wonder
A power that brings the dead back to life

I wish You could stay
But I'll wait for the day
And though You've gone away
You come back and

Chorus
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers
and hear the birds sing and
I'll be remembering You,
I'll be remembering You

And I'll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll think of the way that You fill up my heart
And I'll be remembering

YouI'll be remembering
YouI'll be remembering
YouI'll be remembering

YouI'll be remembering You
