3) Lord of the Dance
I danced in the morning when the world was begun
I danced in the Moon & the Stars & the Sun
I came down from Heaven & I danced on Earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth:
(CHORUS)
Dance then, wherever you may be (get up and dance!)
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!
I danced for the scribe & the Pharisee
But they would not dance & they wouldn't follow me
I danced for fishermen, for James & John
They came with me & the Dance went on: (CHORUS)
I danced on the Sabbath & I cured the lame
The holy people said it was a shame!
They whipped & they stripped & they hung me high
And they left me there on a cross to die! (CHORUS)
I danced on a Friday when the sky turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body & they thought I'd gone
But I am the Dance & I still go on! (CHORUS)
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the Life that'll never, never die!
I'll live in you if you'll live in Me -
I am the Lord of the Dance, said He! (CHORUS)

9) Amazing Grace Lyrics
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand
years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
9) Rejoice Theotokos
O Theotokos, and Virgin
The Lord is with you
Blessed are you among women
And blessed is the fruit of your womb
For you have brought forth the Savior
of our world
10) Rich Men (Artoclasia)
Rich men have turned poor
and gone hungry
But they who seek the Lord
Shall not be deprived
Of any good thing
[GREEK]
Πλουσιοι επτωχευσαν και επεινασαν
οιδε εκζητουντες τον Κυριον
ουκ ελαττωθησονται
παντος αγαθου
11) Baptized Into Christ (Baptism)
As many as have been baptized
in to Christ
Have put on Christ
Alleluia
Οσοι εις Χριστον εβαπτισθητε
Χριστον ενεδυσασθε, Αλλελουια
