Lyrics
I'm after your heart, why should I be still
When the worship starts Lord
I'm so in love with you
What can man do, can't hold me back anymore
You spin over me, and you are pleased when
I spend myself on you
I'm gonna let go now, really worship
Letting my dance come forth
Chorus:
Dance, dance
Let the Spirit move you
Dance, dance
Holy Spirit in you

Meaning & Inspiration
"Dance" presents worship as an unrestrained response to God's love. The lyrics move from a decision not to remain still to an expression of praise through bodily movement. The statement that nothing can hold the worshiper back gives the song a joyful, free tone, while the chorus keeps attention on the Holy Spirit's presence and activity. Its brief refrain reinforces movement as an embodied response of gratitude, freedom, and reverence.
The image of dancing before God can be read alongside 2 Samuel 6:14, where David dances before the Lord with all his might. Philippians 3:2-3 also connects with the song's refusal to be controlled by human judgment, since Paul places confidence in God rather than in the flesh. Together, these themes portray worship as joyful surrender rather than self-conscious performance.
