As I was packing up some files in my desk at work this week, I ran across the lyrics to a song that I heard at a Coast Hills Music & Worship Conference back in my ABF days. It was an original song that the author/composer (is that what you call him?) sang at the conference. I've never heard it since then, but it's a song I've thought about a number of times over the years.
The Dance
by Eric Goetze
Who’d have thought I’d ever take a chance. I’ve always known the steps, but never dared to dance. I just watched. It seemed to suit me well. I never had to trust anybody but myself. Jesus, take my hand and lead me through the dance, That moves our love and makes it our romance.
I’ve got a way of never letting go. I hold on to the past, because it’s all I really know. The more we move, the more I feel the ebb and flow. I’m finding that Your will has a rhythm all its own. So when tomorrow comes, I’ll be right where You are, Dancing safely in the comfort of Your arms.
It’s all right that I don’t know exactly what tomorrow holds. I don’t have to leave the future up to chance. There’s so much that I don’t see. So, I’ll follow where You lead. And though I may not love the steps, I’ll take Your hand, And learn to love the dance.
