Lord of the Dance

"On the bank of the Tennessee River
In a small Kentucky town
I drew my first breath one cold November morning
And before my feet even touched the ground
With the doctors and the nurses gathered ´round
I started to danceI started to dance

A little boy full of wide-eyed wonder
Footloose and fancy free
But it would happen, as it does for every dancer
That I´d stumble on a truth I couldn´t see
And find a longing deep inside of me, it said . . .

I am the heart, I need the heartbeat
I am the eyes, I need the sight
I realize that I am just a bodyI need the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But who´ll give purpose to chance
I am the dancer I need the Lord of the dance!


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 lifeI 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!


Lord of the dance Lord of the dance

And while the music of His love and mercy plays
I will fall down on my knees and I will pray
I am the heart, You are the heartbeat
I am the eyes, You are the sight
And I see clearly, I am just a body
You are the life
I move my feet, I go through the motions
But You give purpose to chance

I am the dancer
You are the Lord of the dance
I am the dancer
You are the Lord of the dance."

From the lyrics you have seen this is not a song about Shiva.......let me be clear on that. Its about the one who sets the proper rhythm of life,Jesus. [Oh not again you may say!]
This song is also my story as it is of Steven Curtis Chapman who composed this classic. Its an upbeat song.

Interesting incidents!

Some of you who may have by chance seen my profile name in orkut not so recently would have seen a shocking 'Deepu quits rough record'.....well partly I must say its true....[hey Sajaa....Shari chechi...desp aakalle! I was not talking about the eastern band]
I'm talking about quitting the western band. [John, I know you maybe really mad at what I'm saying so I'll make it as clear as I can,k?]
I am a member of a Christian band called 'Radiantz'. For me music is not merely a pursuit of enjoyment and excitement....[you know like when you play those power chords or do some catchy riff... or when you sing some part that sounds really cool], but I strongly believe that it is a means of sharing what I believe. And if you think what I believe is Christianity...let me make myself clear again. I believe in Christ.

Try and imagine: You see a fire that is about to engulf the whole building. Would you sit back,have a cup of tea and relax or would you do something about the whole issue?

Similarly I believe that the world is lost without Christ! Y,you may ask...I will be dealing with it in the next post.

I am compelled to use my talents for the One who did not keep himself back but gave himself fully for me. I cannot deny what He has done to change me so much. Infact He is the One who has equipped me with these little musical talents I have. So as an act of gratitude and duty,
I want to sing about Him, for Him....for He is the ultimate one worth singing for...or rather should I say the only One?
