“I danced in the morning when the world was begun, And I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun.”

“Every star shall sing a carol, every creature, high or low, come and praise the King of Heaven by the light of a star.”

“It's God they ought to crucify instead of you and me.”

“Standing in the rain, everything is new; yesterday is gone, I am here with you.”

“When I needed a neighbour, were you there, were you there?”

“I see Christ as the incarnation of the piper who is calling us. He is a lord of the dance.”

“Dance, then, wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said he, And I'll lead you all, wherever you may be, And I'll lead you all in the Dance, said he.”

“All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.”

“And it's from the old I travel to the new; keep me travelling along with you.”

“I did not think of myself as a Christian when I wrote 'Lord of the Dance'. I thought of myself as a folksinger.”

“Faith is a dance. It is the risk that you must take.”

“I don't believe in a God who is a static thing. I believe in a God who is a dancer.”

“My God is a God of questions, not answers.”

“I am the song that sings the man, I am the man that sings the song.”

“The dance is a symbol of the whole process of life.”
