Oh, what a foretaste
Of glory divine

Purchased of God
Born of his spirit, oh

All the day long

And I will dance in your freedom now
You have brought me out
You have brought me out

Meaning & Inspiration
I Gotta A Song centers on praise that rises from assurance, freedom, and redemption. Its opening lines draw directly from the language of the classic hymn Blessed Assurance, presenting belonging to Jesus and salvation as reasons for continual song. The chorus turns that confidence into an outward response: praise pours out, the singer dances in freedom, and deliverance becomes something worth declaring aloud.
The call-and-response bridge expands the theme through healing, cleansing, peace, hope, victory, and the work of the Holy Spirit. References to being washed, redeemed, and set free place the song within the Christian proclamation of salvation through Christ. The mention of Calvary gives that freedom a clear center in the death of Jesus. Rather than treating worship as a private feeling, the lyric portrays singing, dancing, shouting, and lifting Jesus high as grateful answers to what God has done.
