Lyrics
What's it gone look like, what's it gone be like
What's it gone sound like, I won't know
We're on a mission to get God's attention,
Heaven is listening, so here we go
The angels all around are crying holy, holy, holy
Praise Him with a sound that gives him glory, glory, glory
Are you ready now, get ready now I'm ready (4x)
Let's go shout it out, start shouting now
I'm gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music, taking back the music
I'm gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music
And all the angels say
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Everybody stand up, gone put your hands up
Recognize the God of power and might
His love's so amazing, He loves me like crazy
Now I'm bout to be in His marvelous light
The angels all around, are crying holy, holy, holy
Praise Him with a sound that gives him glory, glory, glory
Are you ready now, get ready now I'm ready (4x)
Let's go shout it out, start shouting now
I'm gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music, taking back the music
I'm gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music
And all the angels say
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey (C'mon now)
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Find the name of all that makes Jesus
We can live today because His grace freed us
(Glory honor and power for ever and forever Lord) 4x
Gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music, taking back the music
Gonna shake heaven, gonna shake heaven
Join in together, join in together
This is how we do it; this is how we do it
We're taking back the music
And all the angels say
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey
Oooh oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey, hey, hey

Meaning & Inspiration
Shake Heaven presents communal praise as an energetic response to the holiness and majesty of God. Its repeated calls to shout, stand, and give glory frame worship as a shared public celebration rather than a private mood. The image of angels crying ‘holy, holy, holy’ closely echoes the heavenly worship described in Revelation 4:8, while the reference to marvelous light recalls 1 Peter 2:9. The central phrase functions as exuberant language for praise that seeks heavenward attention, not as a literal claim that human effort controls God.
The song also connects divine grace with freedom and renewed life. Its declaration that grace has freed humanity keeps the focus on what God has done, while the recurring invitation to join together stresses unity in worship. References to glory, honor, and power place the celebration within familiar biblical language. Overall, the lyric is a praise anthem centered on God’s holiness, saving grace, and worthiness to receive an open, joyful response.
