Let's dance
Hezekiah Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you came to the praise party then you can't leave the same way you came in
Tell Him what you want, what you want you can have if you want to be free from sin
It's never too late if you want to celebrate in the body of Christ like me
You better get it while the getting is good you can have it, if you grab it while the getting is free
(Chorus)
Get up with me, stand on your feet
Lift your voice, saints make some noise
Raise your hands, move your feet let's dance
(Verse 2)
It doesn't matter what color you're my brother if you can breathe
Let me take you to a lover that'll love you from the top of your head to the sole of your feet
He comes that you might have life and that you might have it abundantly
You better get it while the getting is good, you can have it if you grab it while the getting is free
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy
Rejoice
Rejoice in the Lord ye righteous saints
(Rap)
If sins got you rapped up tight in bondage
Got you feeling like a slave in hostage
Ste up, pay your dues and homage
Join the crew with the saints of God kid
If you want it, it can be liek that
Ain't no payment on it baby
It can be like that
Don't be blowing up your vision, you can see like that
You're welcome to the brotherhood, dance
