Teach me to Dance by Graham Kendrick was originally recorded on 1993's Spark to a Flame and re-recorded for The Very Best of Graham Kendrick in 2011. Co-written with Steve Thompson.
The idea of asking God to teach us how to dance may seem strange to some, but of course the song is not so much about actual physical dancing, as an exploration of the idea of dance as an analogy for a relationship with God. The song continues to add more analogies, such as moving, walking, living and loving. So the first line; “Teach me to dance to the beat of your heart” sets in motion what is effectively a sung prayer to live in a way that is consistent with God’s heart of compassion, love and justice.
