T in Oklahoma Christian/Folk music suggestions?? (11) RE: Christian/Folk music suggestions?? 10 Nov 98


Here are the words of "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day" as I sing them. I have made a selection of Sandys' verses and altered a few words:

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

REFRAIN: Sing Oh! my love, Oh! my love, my love, my love! This have I done for my true love.

Then I was born of a virgin pure from her I took fleshly substance. Thus I was knit to man's nature to call my true love to my dance.

(repeat refrain)

Then afterwards baptized I was. The Holy Ghost on me did glance. My father's voice heard from above to call my true love to my dance.

(repeat refrain) Into the desert I was led where I fasted without substance. The devil bade me make stones my bread to have me break my true love's dance.

(repeat refrain)

Before Pilate the priests me brought, where Barabbas had deliverance. They scourged me and set me at nought- judged me to die to lead the dance.

(repeat refrain)

Then on a cross high hanged I was. A spear into my side did glance. There issued forth both water and blood to call my true love to my dance.

(repeat refrain)

Then down to hell I made my way for my true love's deliverance; then rose again on the third day up to my true love and the dance.

(repeat refrain)

Then into heaven I did ascend where now I dwell in sure substance at the right hand of God, that man may come into the general dance.

(repeat refrain)
