Dance Like David

[Intro] Turn the lights up Let the mirror ball testify I didn’t come this far to stand against the wall I came to praise tonight [Verse 1] I used to read the room before I read my heart Measure every move by who was watching in the dark Needed every yes to tell me I was doing right Now I know the One who called me I don’t need another light I quit counting closed doors like they counted me out Started seeing opportunity where I once saw doubt What looked like interruption had direction underneath Now I’m moving with a rhythm Only restoration teaches me [Pre-Chorus] I know what He brought me through I know what He restored I know where my strength comes from So what am I standing still for [Chorus] I’m gonna dance like David danced With all my might, with both hands raised Joy of the Lord is my strength So turn it up and let me praise Call it wild, call it undignified I know exactly why I’m alive Let the whole room watch me testify I’m gonna dance like David tonight [Post-Chorus] Dance, dance Let the joy get loud Dance, dance No approval from the crowd When you know Who brought you through You don’t need permission to move [Verse 2] I learned to praise Him in the pressure Before the answer ever came A setback ain’t a sentence And a season ain’t my name Now I navigate the openings Instead of mourning every wall If He redirects the pathway I don’t have to call it loss I came out of seeking validation Now I’m living in the know K-N-O-W Who walks beside me That’s enough to let it go [Pre-Chorus] I know what He brought me through I know what He restored I know where my strength comes from So what am I standing still for [Chorus] I’m gonna dance like David danced With all my might, with both hands raised Joy of the Lord is my strength So turn it up and let me praise Call it wild, call it undignified I know exactly why I’m alive Let the whole room watch me testify I’m gonna dance like David tonight [Bridge] Praise His name with dancing Let the tambourine ring Praise Him with the movement Give the glory to the King I might get more undignified You don’t know what this joy survived You weren’t there when He pulled me through So you don’t get to tell me What my praise should do [Break] I danced on the grave Of who I used to be Not because I hate her He just finally set her free No crowd can give it No crowd can take it No grave can hold it No fear can fake it I know I know I know Whose I am So if you call it undignified I’ll dance even harder than I planned [Final Chorus] I’m gonna dance like David danced With all my might, with both hands raised Joy of the Lord is my strength So turn it up and let me praise Call it wild, call it undignified I know exactly why I’m alive Let the whole room watch me testify I’m gonna dance like David tonight Praise His name with dancing Every step can carry praise I don’t need the room to validate What the Lord already made If freedom’s got a rhythm Then tonight I’m unashamed [Outro] Turn the lights up Let the mirror ball testify Same God New sound Same praise And I’m still dancing
