Praise You Lord
Planetshakers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your love has set me free
Now all I can do is dance
Woah, the walls came crashing down
With one word from Your mouth
Now all I can do is dance
We are redeemed, set free forgiven
We are redeemed, set free forgiven
So if you love Him, sing, sing!
Oh! Praise You Lord, I'll praise You Lord
For You are good, You are good
Forever we will dance and sing
For You are good, You are good
You are good
The lyrics "Woah, the King broke chains off me" in the Planetshakers' song "Praise You Lord" is a powerful representation of the freedom that one can feel when they are liberated from a negative situation. The King, here representing God, broke the chains that were binding the singer, signifying that they have been set free from their struggles by God's love. This newfound freedom is represented in the following line, "Your love has set me free," which suggests that the singer's troubles were overcome with the help of God's love.
The next few lines, "Now all I can do is dance/Woah, the walls came crashing down/With one word from Your mouth/Now all I can do is dance," describe the overwhelming sense of joy and happiness that comes with being free. The walls coming down could indicate that a metaphorical barrier that was blocking the singer from truly feeling liberated has been broken down with the power of God's word. The phrase "Now all I can do is dance" is repeated in both stanzas, emphasizing that dance is the best way to express this joy and freedom.
The chorus of the song, "Oh! Praise You Lord, I'll praise You Lord/For You are good, You are good/Forever we will dance and sing/For You are good, You are good/You are good," is a dedication to God for everything He has done for the singer. The lyrics reflect on the goodness of God and how He has brought the singer through their struggles, leading to a lifetime of dancing and singing in praise and appreciation.

So it means when you dont listen to this music you cant feel the presence of the Lord.? Secure Jesus in your life because he will never go out and in your life.when the time you believe he will never leave you. His presence will be forever in your life.

Ill just share this. I have been crying to Jesus tonight and I was crying so much and asked Him to free me from my past. Then He whispered to me look at John 8: 36 I rushed to look at my bible then I saw a sentence and it says "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!" i was amazed on How he heard me. He reminded me one of these songs. Its a heart cry of victory THANK YOU JESUS for SETTING ME FREE!
