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!
