We remember, we remember, we remember thee Zion

4) God Danced the Day You Were Born

God Danced the Day You Were Born

Posted: July 28, 2017

by Andrew Lawrence
(a swing jazz round in 3 parts)

GOD DANCED THE DAY YOU WERE BORN

God danced the day you were born
The angels did the bump to Gabriel’s horn
God danced the day you were born
So grateful for the gift of you

I saw God do the Funky Chicken
Steppin’ and kickin’ in blue suede shoes
I saw God do the Boogaloo too
Faced with the gift of you

I have heard some folks say that long ago
God could not dance to save her soul
But people, I”ve seen her shake that jelly roll
Just thinking ’bout the gift of you.
