EVERYBODY DANCE, everybody dance for joy
Everybody shout, everybody make some noise
Start up a song and
Let it be known that mercy has come
Mercy has come.
Strike up the band and
Let it be told that rescue is here
Rescue is here
Someone turn the lights up
Someone play the music louder now
Come on, tell the whole world
There’s a God who saves, there’s a God who saves
There’s a God who saves
Our hearts arise to sing Your song
And all Your saints go dancing, dancing on
Through darkest night ’til break of dawn
All Your saints go dancing, dancing on
Here at Your cross the theme of our song is
Kindness and love, kindness and love
Justice was done there, freedom was won
And You saved the day, You saved the day
So everybody dance, everybody dance for joy
Everybody shout, everybody make some noise
Everybody dance, everybody dance for joy
Everybody shout, everybody make some noise
Matt Redman
