Dance

Planetshakers' song 'Dance' is a vibrant and energetic anthem that celebrates the joy and freedom found in faith. The lyrics express a profound sense of gratitude and elation for the life and vision that Jesus has provided. The opening lines, 'I’m alive ‘cause Jesus gave me life / He opened up my eyes / I can see clearly now,' set the tone for the entire song, highlighting a transformation and newfound clarity that comes from a deep spiritual awakening.

The chorus, 'Everybody, give it up for Jesus / Give him glory, for he has redeemed us,' serves as a call to action for listeners to join in the celebration and acknowledge the redemption and salvation offered by Jesus. This communal aspect of worship is emphasized through the repeated invitation for 'everybody' to participate, creating a sense of unity and shared purpose among believers. The act of dancing becomes a metaphor for expressing this collective joy and gratitude.

The song also delves into the personal aspect of faith with lines like 'My desire is to lift you higher / It’s only burning brighter / This passion inside of me.' Here, the lyrics convey an intense, personal devotion and a desire to elevate Jesus through praise. The imagery of a burning passion suggests an uncontainable and ever-growing fervor for worship. The repeated phrase 'This praise is bursting out / I can’t contain it now' further underscores the overwhelming and infectious nature of this spiritual joy, culminating in an exuberant call to '1, 2, let’s go,' inviting everyone to join in the dance of praise.
