Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got to give You praise
With every part of me I'm breakin' out
I've got to let You know
That You're my everything
With every part of me I'll praise you now
And I will dance and sing
For You my King
'Cause You are all I need now
It's time to get up and dance
'Cause we're free now
It's time to lift up your praise
And shout it out now
It's time to break off the chains
'Cause it's a brand new day
And everything is ok
Let's dance!
Dance now
Everybody shout now
Liftin' up our praise loud
Dancing in this freedom we know
The lyrics to the song "Dance Now" by Planetshakers are an expression of the singer's need to praise and worship their Lord with every part of their being. The singer declares their desire to break free and dance with no fear, all in the service of their King. They put their faith in Him and let Him guide them on their path towards true freedom.
The lyrics convey the message of being set free from the challenges and troubles of life. The singer encourages the listeners to shed off all pessimism and insecurities by turning their attention to God's boundless love and grace. He wants them to dance in the freedom that comes with trusting God and living according to His will. The dance here is not just physical, but a metaphorical representation of the joy and peace that one experiences by submitting to God's love.

Man, i have the pleasure of playing some of the songs by Planetshakers in my youth band. sure on paper it looks a tad confusing, but the atmosphere the crazy chords and the sound they give when played right is just amazing. these guys provide this great space for worship and it's just amazing.
