En Skjærtorsdag kveld passer det ekstra godt å dele følgende vakre tekst fra "LORD OF THE DANCE" - en keltisk salme jeg elsker - om livets dans eller livsdansen om du vil, hvor Jesus fører an og danser med. Skrevet i 1963 av Sydney Carter. Det har betydd så uendelig mye for meg å ha oppdaget den. Jeg håper at ordene også vil bli til levende skjønnhet i deg. Det er mange som har tatt kontakt og takket meg for å ha introdusert denne for dem - helt siden 2010 begynte å dele den ved påsketider. Så nå håper jeg at DU finner glede og verdi i denne "dansen" for deg. "I live in You, if You live in Me..." Hør også en nydelig versjon på YouTube!
LORD OF THE DANCE
I danced in the morning when the world was young
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth.
At Bethlehem I had my birth
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me so the dance went on
I danced on the Sabbath and I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame
They ripped, they stripped, they hung me high
Left me there on the cross to die
I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the world on my back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on
They cut me down and I leap up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance, said he.
Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he
