Stephen Curtis Chapman - Lord Of The Dance Lyrics

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



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 the a truth I couldn't see



And find a longing deep inside of me, it said...



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 move 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







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 life



I move my feet, I move through the motions



But He gives purpose to chance



I am the dancer



He is the 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







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 move through the motions,



But You give purpose to chance



I am the dancer,



You are the Lord of the dance
