Dance

My Father in Heaven asked me to dance;
But I was too busy to give it a glance.

I paid for the ticket with the Blood of my Son.
I'm sorry, I can't; There's too much to get done.

Hey! My yoke is easy; My burden is light.
But I couldn't believe. Something ain't right.

I am your Right.  I give you no slack.
Then tragedy struck; I was flat on my back.

How can I dance? Now I'm really in need!.
You'll do just fine. Let Me take the lead.

Me?  You want me?  To take to the dance?
I have no other. You're my romance.

I think you're mistaken. You're taking a chance.
I know what I'm doing. Now won't you dance?

I was in shock. I could walk. I could dance.
His passion is nothing but pure elegance.

His arms hold me up. His feet give me wings.
With voice without sound, His Words make me sing.

How can this be? I asked without clue.
You are in Me; It is Me within you.
