Dancing Day

Can't wait to share Dancing with my Father book with you.

I see more and more that our heavenly Father is one who

wants to celebrate life with us, to talk and commune and

have joy in the art of His creation. This English hymn

from the point of view of Christ singing/speaking is lovely.

May the Lord bless each of you this Christmas and in the

coming year with His joy and peace!

(All of this was stolen from Sarah's blog--

She found such a great song

for the sentiments of my heart in the realm of Joy)

Merriest of all Christmases!

Tomorrow shall be my dancing day; I would my true love did so chance To see the legend of my play, To call my true love to my dance;

Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love,

my love, my love, This have I done for my true love.

Then was I born of a virgin pure, Of her I took fleshly substance Thus was I kni t to man’s nature To call my true love to my dance.

In a manger laid, and wrapped I was So very poor, this was my chance Betwixt an ox and a silly poor ass To call my true love to my dance.

Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love,

my love, my love, This have I done for my true love.
