THE RHYTHM IN LIFE
A fountain makes music, So does the rain. A horse gallops in tune, So does a train. Birds hover in flight, So does a kite. Candles light up a room, So does the moon. Smoke rises from fire, So does mist from a mire. Wolves howl in the wild, So does a child. |
Have you noticed how rhythm and movement, sound and light complement each other in nature and man. It is as if man's heart, which itself beats like a drum, and his lungs, which breath like the wind has an affinity with the music of life. Now listen to 'Little Steps' and see if you don't think that steps and dance and joy are all in praise of God who dances with us.

Here is a thought provoking song:
LORD OF THE DANCE
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the moon, the stars and the sun
I danced down from Heaven and I danced on 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'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee
They would not dance; they would not follow me
So I danced for the fisherman, for James and John
They came with me and the dance went on
Chorus
Dance, then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
They holy people said it was a shame
So they whipped, they stripped, they hung me high
And they left me on the cross to die
Chorus
Dance, then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
I danced on a Friday, when the sky turned black
Its hard to dance with the Devil on your back
Oh they buried my body, they thought I'd gone
But I and the dance still go on
Chorus
Dance, then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
They cut me down, but I lept on high
I am the light that will never, never die
But I'll live in you if you'll live in Me
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he
Chorus
Dance, then, wherever you may be
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He
And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be
And I'll lead you all in the dance, said He
