[Verse 1]
Well, the ark came rollin’ down the road,
Praise got heavy, glory showed,
David threw his pride right to the wind,
Danced before the Lord again.
No fancy crown, no royal pose,
Just holy fire down in his soul,
If the King of kings has set me free,
Ain’t no shame gonna silence me.
[Pre-Chorus]
Put that fiddle to the flame,
Lift up Jesus’ holy name,
Tambourine and stompin’ feet,
Mercy gave my heart a beat.
[Chorus]
I’m gonna dance like David danced,
With all my might, no holdin’ back,
Hands up high, feet hit the ground,
Let that hallelujah shake this town.
I was bound, but now I’m free,
Like Israel walkin’ through the sea,
If the Lord has been this good to me,
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance like David!
[Verse 2]
Miriam grabbed that tambourine,
After Pharaoh lost his victory,
Moses watched those waters rise,
Then watched God split ’em open wide.
Jericho walls came tumblin’ down,
After praise went round and round,
So when trouble says, “You better run,”
I praise the Lord for what He’s done.
[Pre-Chorus]
Rosin up that old bowstring,
Make that wooden fiddle sing,
Psalm one-fifty says it clear,
Praise Him loud so heaven hears!
[Chorus]
I’m gonna dance like David danced,
With all my might, no holdin’ back,
Hands up high, feet hit the ground,
Let that hallelujah shake this town.
I was bound, but now I’m free,
Like Israel walkin’ through the sea,
If the Lord has been this good to me,
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance like David!
[Bridge – Call & Response]
Who brought you out? — Jesus!
Who broke those chains? — Jesus!
Who made a way when there was none? — Jesus, Jesus!
Clap your hands, all you people,
Shout to God with victory!
There is joy in His presence,
And His Spirit’s makin’ dancers outta me!
[Fiddle Breakdown]
Hey!
Stomp two times, spin around,
Praise the Lord on holy ground!
Banjo roll and fiddle cry,
Give Him praise until sunrise!
[Final Chorus]
I’m gonna dance like David danced,
With all my might, no holdin’ back,
Hands up high, feet hit the ground,
Let that hallelujah shake this town.
Death lost power, Christ is King,
That’s enough to make me sing,
If the Lord has been this good to me,
I’m gonna dance, dance, dance like David!
Yeah, I’m gonna dance like David!
With all my might before the Lord!
