Christmas Love Song

  Music has incredible power to evoke all kinds of emotions.  I already posted "Betelehemu" on here.  That's one of the pieces we are doing for our Christmas show (last night and tonight).  Here is another one.  At first glance/listen you would think it's a "regular" love song.  This is a love song, but not a regular one.  I love the words and the music.  The music adds the joy to the words.  Jesus did everything for us so that we could join Him in His "dance".   The song is "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day".

"The verses of the hymn progress through the story of Jesus told in his own voice. An innovative feature of the telling is that Jesus' life is repeatedly characterized as a dance."

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;

Chorus
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 knit to man's nature
To call my true love to my dance.
Chorus

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.

Chorus
Sing, oh! my love, oh! my love, my love, my love,
This have I done for my true love.
