Faith is a dance, dance, dance
The music spins, just lean in
Clap your hands, hands, hands
Now is your chance
Get in the dance
All we see came from nothin’
’Til God spoke and made it something
A promise guaranteed
Divine title deed
Holy reality
Beauty our eyes cannot fathom
God’s power, within us to imagine
A promise guaranteed
Divine title deed
Holy reality
Believe it, Recieve it
Get hooked in it
Let the glory, change your story
Trust it
Faith can un-fear you, Un-freeze you
Spin you, squeeze you
Just a little bit of faith can mustard seed you
Climbing out of bed is daunting
Life looms large, dark cloud memories are haunting
Sit yourself down, turn the quiet up, let it fill your cup
Pull the words of the page let ‘em ruminate
Resonate, Recalibrate, Orchestrate
Infuse with joy turn sadness into celebrate
Fill your heart with it
Even when you dissed it
Even when you made mistakes, felt the shame and dismissed it
If life be muddy give me holy dirt
Unearth me from the holy garden heal the hurt
Faith is a peace song, love for all
Faith is a new sun just like an altar call
Faith is resonance, reverence, communion cup, common sense
Prayerful spirit trance
Lead me in the holy dance
