The Great Cosmic Dance
All creation moves in a cosmic dance
Before the Lord her King;
and the rythms, the reason, the rhyme
of the dance pulses within everything.
And the universe wheels and whirls like
a dervish in perfect seven-step time
The Lord made the dance,
He taught her the steps, and He causes the songs to shine.
Adam and Eve danced 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 dance as a token.
And pausing to listen Adam missed his step;
Earth's harmony in the dance broken.
Jesus danced into the world
Singing His heavenly song.
He taught the dance to those who would
listen and learn as He moved along.
But the steps of His dance led to a cross
where He died while the haters mocked on.
But He danced through death's arms
and over Hell's gate and in three days
danced forth from His tomb
We must dance, dance, dance
dance in God's honor.
We must yield all our steps unto the King.
We must dance, dance, dance
dance in God's honor.
Let His praises ring throughout the earth
