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)
