Lyrics

Every Child

Hafiz/Ladinsky/Levin © 2013



Every child has known God. That’s quite a claim.

For they don’t know God

as a ‘God of Names’ as a ‘God of Don’ts’ a ‘God of Shame,’

of stormy moods or any strange behavior. Not a king or a queen, a giant, tyrant or savior.



But every child knows God. Not as someone you can see,

But the God who only knows four words:



Come Dance with me! Come Dance with me!

Come Dance! Come Dance! Come Dance! 2x

END: —with me. Oh, Come Dance with me!
