“Let the Little Girl Dance”

5/11/12 “Let the Little Girl Dance”---I know this iTune download of mine is not spiritual in context but the words could have some spiritual connotations, if "dance" was used as a metaphor for life with the Lord. From her condition before salvation, (alone/without God) as a wallflower who sits out of the dance because she’s never accepted the offer of grace. Timidly, as she accepts Christ’s offer and moves toward Him. She passes by all the "worldly Buddys" (temptations that beckon) as she walks toward her Lord. It’s obvious that she does in fact want to “dance” with Him. Now, if she’ll just allow Him to lead!

(Little wallflower on the shelf)
(Standing by herself)


(Never had the nerve to take a chance)
(So let the little girl dance)

Let the little girl dance Let the little girl dance

She never danced before
So let her on the floor
(So let her on the floor)

Let the little girl dance
Let the little girl dance


She wants to give it a try
So let the little girl by
(So let the little girl by)

She's been a little wallflower on the shelf
Standing by herself


Now she’s got the nerve to take a chance
So let the little girl dance

Let the little girl through
She wants to pass by you


Buddy, can't you see
She wants to dance with me
(She wants to dance with me) (Billy Bland’s rendition, 1960s)

 All of this once again prompts my somewhat continual prayer---“Lord continue to lead me in the ”dance” you have chosen for me.”
