King of Kings (Jarrod Cooper)

 

King of kings, majesty,
God of Heaven living in me,
gentle Saviour, closest friend,
strong deliverer, beginning and end,
all within me falls at your throne.

 

Your majesty, I can but bow.
I lay my all before you now.
In royal robes I don’t deserve
I live to serve your majesty.

 

Earth and Heaven worship you,
love eternal, faithful and true,
who bought the nations, ransomed souls,
brought this sinner near to your throne;
all within me cries out in praise.

 

Your majesty, I can but bow…

Lord of the Dance (Shaker tune, Sydney Carter text)

I danced in the morning when the world was young

I danced in the moon, and the stars, and the sun
I came down from Heaven and I danced on the Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth
 

CHORUS:

Dance, then, wherever you may be - I am the lord of the dance said he
And I lead you all wherever you may be - And I lead you all in the dance said he

 

I danced for the Pharoah and the pharisees

They wouldn’t dance, they wouldn’t follow me

I danced for the fishermen James and John

They came with me so the dance went on

CHORUS

I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame

They holy people said it was a shame

They ripped me and they stripped me and they hung me high

Left me there on the cross to die

CHORUS

 

I danced on a Friday when the world turned black

It’s hard to dance with the devil on your back

They buried my body; they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on

CHORUS

The cut me down and I leapt up high

I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he

 

CHORUS
