Lyrics

[Kirk:] For those of you that think gospel music has gone to far.
You think we got too radical with our message.
Well I got news for you , you ain't heard nothin yet,
and if you don't know now you know. Glory, Glory!!


[Part1:] Lately I've been going through some things that really got me down.
I need someone somebody to help me come and turn my life around.
I can't explain, I can't obtain it. Jesus your love is so, it's so amazing.
It gets me high up to the sky, and when I think about your goodness it makes me wanna stomp.
Makes me clap my hands. Makes me wanna dance and stomp.
My brother can't you see I got the victory. STOMP!!!


[repeat part 1 ]


[Salt [rap]]: When I think about the goodness and fullness of God,
makes me thankful pity the hateful I'm grateful.
The Lord brought me through this far,
trying to be cute when I praise him raise him high.
I keep the live beat bumping. Keep it jumping make the Lord feel something.
Ain't no shame in my game God's Property. Kickin' it wit Kirk ain't no stoppin' me.
UH stomp


[Kirk:] GP are you wit me?
[GP:] oh yeah we having church we ain't going nowhere.
[repeat 3 times ]


[pt2:] stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp


I promise the stomp, the whole stomp, nothin but the stomp


[Kirk:] It ain't over. It ain't over


[repeat part 2 until fades.]

Meaning & Inspiration

“Stomp!” frames exuberant movement as a response to God’s goodness and to the victory found in Jesus. The opening challenges narrow expectations about gospel music, then the main section shifts to a testimony of discouragement turned around by divine love. Clapping, dancing, and stomping function as physical signs of gratitude, not as distractions from the message.

The lyrics repeatedly connect praise with remembrance: thinking about God’s goodness produces joy, thankfulness, and confidence after difficulty. That pattern is consistent with biblical calls to praise God with energetic sound and movement. The declaration of victory also echoes the New Testament theme that triumph is given through Jesus Christ, though the song expresses it in conversational, celebratory language. Even the repeated closing refrain serves the central idea: worship can be bold, communal, and unashamed when it arises from gratitude for what God has done.
