THE DANCER

Composed by Paul Michael
Inspired by "The Dancer" by Father David

Intro: (G)-(Em)-(G)-(Em)

I (G)wanted to take her hand and to (Em)dance.
(Am)I was afraid she would not under(D)stand.
They (G)all want her body, but I want her (Em)soul.
Lord, (Am)help me to hold on, not let her (D)go.
I (G)wanted to take her into my (Em)arms,
And (Am)look in her eyes and speak to her (D)heart.
(G)She would have reached out her hand for my (Em)help
To (Am)keep her from sliding back into the (D)dark.
(Em)And at night I can (D)hear her say, (C)"Why don't you help me?"
(Em)Help her to know that (D)You love her, Lord,
Help (C)her to love Thee!

(G)She wants to dance in the spirit of (Em)joy,
With (Am)breath of the spring full of eternal (D)life.
(G)She seeks for answers and wants to be (Em)free,
But (Am)only can have it if she dances for (D)Thee.
(G)Heavenly heights she's never (Em)known,
(Am)Dances of love with the Lover of her (D)soul.
In the (G)court of His Kingdom for the King of (Em)kings,
(Am)Such joyful dancing only He can (D)bring.
(Em)And at night I can (D)hear her say, (C)"Why don't you help me?"
(Em)Help her to know that You (D)love her, Lord,
Help (C)her to love Thee!
