Lyrics
Verse
I will dance
I will sing
To be mad
For my King
Nothing Lord
Is hindering
This passion in my soul
Chorus
And I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Some may say
It's foolishness
But I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Leave my pride
By my side
And I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Some may say
It's foolishness
But I'll become
Even more undignified than this
Than this
Interlude
Na,Na,Na,Na,Na, HEY!
Na,Na,Na,Na,Na,Na,
Na,Na,Na,Na,Na, HEY!
Na,Na,Na,Na,Na,Na,
It's all for You my Lord!

Meaning & Inspiration
Undignified is an energetic praise song about worshiping with abandon. The opening lines promise to dance and sing, to be mad for the King, and say that nothing hinders the passion in the soul. The chorus repeats that the singer will become even more undignified than this, even if some call it foolishness, and asks to leave pride aside.
A wordless chant section with the shouted "Hey" gives the crowd a place to join, and the final line says it is all for the Lord. The imagery recalls King David in 2 Samuel 6:14, who danced before the Lord with all his might, and 2 Samuel 6:21-22, where he answered criticism by promising to become even more undignified. Psalm 149:3 also calls for praising His name with dancing. The driving rhythm, chant and playful lyrics make the song a joyful, celebratory expression of praise.
