[Intro]
Black power on the dance floor
Hands up, what you stand for
Sweat drippin' on the church shoes
This the kind of Sunday that we choose (hey!)
[Verse 1]
I was low, I was lost in the back row
Heart heavy like a chain, movin' mad slow
Then the DJ dropped grace in my headphones
Felt the shackles fall clean off my ankle bones
Spin around, let your scars see daylight
Ain’t a past in the room God can’t rewrite
Every step, every slide, that’s a “thank You”
Every stomp on the ground, that’s Him breakin’ through
[Chorus]
Black power on the dance floor
Dance your prayer to God
Let the people fill your praise
Let it overflow the spot
There’s power in the beat, that’s His forgiveness
In the rhythm of the love we share
Black power on the dance floor
Every move sayin’ “God, You’re here”
[Verse 2]
See my auntie in the corner with the eyes closed
Little cousin in the circle, let his light glow
Old heads two-steppin’ through the sorrow
Turnin’ every “maybe” to a “tomorrow”
We been bruised, we been broken, we been talked ‘bout
Still we clap, still we shout, let it all out
This ain’t just a party, this a faith storm
Where the wounded and the weary get reborn (woah)
[Chorus]
Black power on the dance floor
Dance your prayer to God
Let the people fill your praise
Let it overflow the spot
There’s power in the beat, that’s His forgiveness
In the rhythm of the love we share
Black power on the dance floor
Every move sayin’ “God, You’re here”
[Bridge]
[Drums and bass drop, crowd chants]
Left side say “forgiven”
Right side say “free” (free!)
We survived every season
Now we dance in victory
Spin twice for your healing
One time for your peace
Take the hurt from the ceiling
Bring it down to your feet (hey!)
[Chorus]
Black power on the dance floor
Dance your prayer to God
Let the people fill your praise
Let it overflow the spot
There’s power in the beat, that’s His forgiveness
In the rhythm of the love we share
Black power on the dance floor
Every move sayin’ “God, You’re here”
[Outro]
Black power on the dance floor
(yeah, yeah)
Black love, that’s the open door
(oh Lord)
Every step is a “thank You” said
We don’t just talk it, we dance it instead
