All creation moves in a cosmic danse
Before the Lord her King;
And the rythms, the reasons, the rhyme of the danse
pulses within everything.
In perfect seven-step time
The Lord made the Danse,
He taught her the steps,
And He causes the songs to shine.
(Chorus)
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.
(Chorus)
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
(Chorus) x2
here's a little side note I found on this song:
The Danse is a celebration of the gospel story based on the medieval view of creation. Medieval people saw creation as a vast dance of praise to their Creator, which was interrupted by the Fall described in God's Law and lived out perfectly in the life of Jesus. The death, resurrection, and ascension of the same Lord Jesus restored Creation, so that those who believe and receive new life in Him can once again begin to dance the Great Dance to God's Glory.
