Story Behind This Song

I wrote this song out of a desire to tell the world why we, as believers, worship the way we do. Our culture is so accustomed to reserving our biggest cheers and claps for ball games, and our best dance moves for weddings, and our best songs for karaoke night at the local bar. Yet when it comes to singing, dancing, and clapping in church…well, it makes some people very uncomfortable. Here’s the thing. God created EVERY art form for the purpose of glorifying him. He’s the mastermind behind dance, art, music, and poetry. It’s the world who has polluted these art forms, and made us feel somehow that they don’t belong in church. I am a firm believer that we need to cultivate the creative gifts God has given us, and offer them back to God in worship…out of our deep love for Him, and because of His extraordinary love for us.
