but we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
Lord of the dance, on the bank of the tennessee river
I go through the motions, with the doctors and the nurses gathered round The, by the one who moves with passion and with grace
Lord of the dance, i need the heartbeat
On the bank of the tennessee river, on the bank of the tennessee river Dance, i am the dancer
I am the heart, a little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
lord of the dance
i started to dance
i am the eyes
I need the life, he is the life
i need the heartbeat
I am the dancer, but you give purpose to chance Dance, i am the dancer
But who ll give purpose to chance, in a small kentucky town Steven, lord of the dance
i move my feet
Lord of the dance, i am the heart
As he dances over all that he has made, you are the sight Chapman, you are the lord of the dance
And before my feet even touched the ground, i am the eyes
i started to dance
You are the lord of the dance, i am the eyes Of, i move my feet
but it would happen
I'm an atheist, but always thought this song was damn catchy when I saw it on TV once in the 90's. Never knew who sung it, but the lyrics been stuck in my mind ever since. Googling some fragments of them brought me here.
Life is a dance. I am the dancer.
I need the Lord of the dance.
I need His grace and mercy.
I need His Love
that brought me forgiveness of sins.
I need His salvation
that came through
His shed blood;
His great sacrifice.
I need Him to give me strength
through each day.
man this brings me back to when i was first brought to God. awesome lets not ever forget Gods love for us He is always there even though when it doesnt feel like it. He is Patient and forebear-ant. all that Jesus gave the Father none will be lost!!!!!
First time I heard this song, & I played it over & over! It's now my favorite SCS song! BRILLIANT LYRICS! What a blessing Steven Curtis Chapman is & how he uses the incredible talents The Lord gave him!!
This song meant we are a body of CHRIST! GOD fill us with the HOLY SPIRIT who is at work in our life. without HIM, we are a heart without any heartbeat. is not by chance we are here today; it is HIS will that we are placed in different offices to live/glorify HIM and to give our best in everything we do.
SCC is hands down the best thing contemporary Christian music has produced. He's the perfect blend of technical prowess on the guitar, having a phenomenal singing voice, being able to write the catchiest melodies, and the most thoughtful and profound lyrics. No one has all of those categories mastered, but he's by far the closest. Today's music scene has no one comparable.
The world beneath us spins in circles
And this life makes us twist and turn and sway
But we were made for more than rhythm with no reason
By the one who moves with passion and with grace
As He dances over all that He has made
I am the heart, He is the heartbeat
I am the eyes, He is the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body
He is the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But He gives purpose to chance
I am the dancer
He is the Lord of the dance
Wow! Reading some of the awesome comments of true believers, still amazing how we like to criticize each others gifts and talents! Guess its jus human nature.

Jesus, the Lord of the Dance, that's not hard to figure out that,thats who Steven is praizin!
