I DID SOMETHING TODAY
That I’ve never done before
I thought I heard You say
Why don’t You dance with me
And I danced like a child
Spinning around on the floor
I was carefree and wild
And You danced me right through the door
And let Heaven come in
And I was carried away
There was so much love in the room
Did I hear You say dance with me
Dance with me
I laughed and I cried
I felt such freedom inside
There is fullness of joy right where You stand
So I give You my hand
And I dance my love for You
Like I’ve never done before
Now I know that it’s true
I can dance my way through the door
I’d let heaven come in
Just get carried away
And I’ve so much love in the room
That I hear You say dance with me
Dance with me
I want to dance with You
I want to dance with You
I want to dance with You
