Lord of the Dance

Ich liebe dieses Lied.

Hab ein bisschen recherchiert, was ich in der Vergangenheit so für Texte genommen habe bei der Liturgie zum Dreifaltigkeitssonntag.

5 mal in 19 Jahren: Lord of the Dance.

2013 haben wir getanzt. Im Familiengottesdienst in Braunau – St. Franziskus, ich erinnere mich genau.

Heute beim Anhören des Liedes auf Youtube, beim Lesen des Textes: große mystische Ergriffenheit.

Ich möchte euch den Liedtext nicht vorenthalten:

Lord of the Dance   (The Dubliners)

I danced in the morning
When the world was begun,
And I danced in the moon
And the stars and the sun,
And I came down from heaven
And I danced on the earth,
At Bethlehem
I had my birth.

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,
But they would not dance
And they wouldn’t follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
For James and John
They came with me
And the Dance went on.

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;
The 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

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 and they thought I’d gone
But I am the lord and the dance went on

They cut me down, but I leapt on high
I am the light that never will die
But I’ll live in you if you’ll live in Me
I am The Lord Of The Dance, said he
