Lyrics
You steady me
Slow and sweet, we sway
Take the lead and I will follow
Finally ready now
To close my eyes and just believe
That You won't lead me
Where You don't go
When my faith gets tired
And my hope seems lost
You spin me round and round
And remind me of that song
The one You wrote for me
And we dance
And we dance
And I've been told
To pick up my sword
And fight for love
Little did I know
That Love had won for me
Here in Your arms
You still my heart again
And I breathe You in
Like I've never breathed 'till now
When my faith gets tired
And my hope seems lost
You spin me round and round
And remind me of that song
The one You wrote for me
And we dance
And we dance
And I will lock eyes
With the One who's ransomed me
The One who gave me joy for mourning
And I will lock eyes
With the One who's chosen me
The One who set my feet to dancing?
And I will lock eyes
With the One who's ransomed me
The One who gave me joy for mourning
And I will lock eyes
With the One who's chosen me
The One who set my feet to dancing?
We dance
We dance
We dance
We dance
Just You and me
It's nice to know I'm not alone
I've found my home here in Your arms
It's nice to know I'm not alone
I've found my home here in Your arms
It's nice to know I'm not alone
I've found my home here in Your arms
It's nice to know I'm not alone
I've found my home here in your arms

Meaning & Inspiration
“We Dance” uses the image of a slow dance to describe trust in God’s guidance. The speaker follows as God leads, especially when faith is weary and hope feels distant. Images of being steadied, held, and given a song portray divine care as close and sustaining. The contrast between taking up a sword and discovering that Love has already won shifts the focus from anxious effort to rest in redemption.
The song’s language of joy replacing mourning closely echoes Isaiah’s promise of comfort, while feet set to dancing recall the Psalms’ celebration of sorrow turned to gladness. Ransom, chosen belonging, and safety in God’s arms deepen the theme of restored identity. Repeated lines about not being alone bring the song to a quiet assurance: God’s presence is home. The dance metaphor therefore carries both movement and surrender, expressing worship through confidence in the One who leads, redeems, and restores joy.
