Lord of the Dance - The Dubliners & Jim McCann | 40 Years Reunion: Live from The Gaiety (2003)

Since 1962, The Dubliners have been enthralling audiences worldwide with their music and song. The strength and attractiveness of The Dubliners has always been in the personalities of the musicians who have made up this boisterous band of balladeers, from original members, Ronnie Drew, Barney McKenna, Luke Kelly, Ciarán Bourke, John Sheahan and Bob Lynch to the arrival at different stages of Jim McCann, Seán Cannon, Eamonn Campbell and finally the peerless Paddy Reilly.

The gentleman on the violin may be one of the finest violinists. He's so gentle with his violin. It's really quite impressive to watch.

About 15 years ago, I was in a Christian university, working towards a degree in theology. In one my courses, Spiritual Formation, my Professor introduced us to this song. It was a favorite of his.

And ever since, it has been a favorite of mine as well. I love how well this song communicates the free & whimsical side of Jesus. Too often we paint pictures of Christ in a somber, broken, or dying portrait.

My favorite artwork of Christ is of Him laughing, the work was done in 1973 by Willis Wheatley. Just as that art so beautifully conveyed the joyful side of Christ, I believe this song does as well- just via a different medium.

If the joy of the Lord is our strength, we really ought to allow ourselves more time to experience His joy.
