Lyrics

Intro


You, you, you, you, you know what to do
It's time to put your phone down and raise your attitude
The God who made the birds, sea, sun and the moon
Isn't somewhere far away, He is standing in the room


Verse 1


So let it scream, let it shout
Let them know what you're about
Keep it moving and grooving
Don't leave a single doubt
That today is the day that the Lord has created
Why would I sit around just waiting?


Chorus


Let's have a celebration (Let's have a celebration)
It's time to clap our hands and to stomp our feet
Let's have a celebration (Let's have a celebration)
If you believe that Jesus set you free
It's time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don't sit there waiting
Let's have a celebration


Verse 2


Me, me, me, me, I need less of me
Father, Son and Spirit, that's who I call G-O-D
I used to be a blind man until You let me see
That who the Son set free, You said is truly free indeed


Verse 3


So let it scream, let it shout
Let them know what you're about
Keep it moving and grooving
Don't leave a single doubt
That today is the day that the Lord has created
Why would I just sit around just waiting?


Chorus (Repeat)


Let's have a celebration (Let's have a celebration)
It's time to clap our hands and to stomp our feet
Let's have a celebration (Let's have a celebration)
If you believe that Jesus set you free
It's time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don't sit there waiting
Let's have a celebration


Outro


Celebration (Oh, yeah)
It's time to clap our hands and to stomp our feet (Yeah)
Let's have a celebration
If you believe that Jesus set you free
It's time to celebrate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Ayy-ayy-ate, ayy-ayy-ate
Don't sit there waiting
Let's have a celebration

Meaning & Inspiration

“Celebration” by Forrest Frank is an upbeat call to praise that opens by telling listeners to put their phones down and remember that the God who made the birds, sea, sun, and moon “isn’t somewhere far away, He is standing in the room.” The verse urges noisy, joyful worship, “let it scream, let it shout,” and ties it to the line “today is the day that the Lord has created,” which echoes Psalm 118:24.

The chorus invites a celebration with clapping and stomping, “if you believe that Jesus set you free.” That wording is close to Psalm 47:1, which calls people to clap their hands and shout to God, and to John 8:36, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed,” which the second verse paraphrases as “who the Son set free… is truly free indeed.”

The second verse also adds a note of humility, “I need less of me,” and names Father, Son, and Spirit. The song’s message is that freedom in Christ is a reason to celebrate now rather than wait.
